Hi, I'm Anna Puzio
My research areas include philosophy of technology, philosophical anthropology (of technology), medical ethics, bioethics and environmental ethics. I studied philosophy, theology, and German language and literature in Münster and Munich. I received my PhD from the Munich School of Philosophy with a dissertation on the anthropology of transhumanism. Afterwards, I conducted research in Frankfurt am Main, Vienna, Oxford, Cambridge (UK), and Berkeley (USA). In recent years, I worked on emerging technologies at the University of Twente (Netherlands). I am also an affiliated researcher at the Critical Data Lab at Humboldt University of Berlin. I am currently based at the University of Bern (Switzerland) and involved in the ESDiT Research Programme (Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies) in the Netherlands.
