Hi, I'm Anna Puzio
My research areas include anthropology of technology, ethics of technology, and environmental ethics. I studied Catholic theology, German studies, and philosophy in Münster and Munich, Germany. I completed my doctoral studies in an interdisciplinary doctoral program at the Munich School of Philosophy, focusing on the anthropology of transhumanism. After working in Frankfurt am Main, Vienna, Oxford, and Cambridge, I am currently based at the University of Twente in the Netherlands, working within the nationwide ESDiT Research Programme (Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies). I am a Visiting Researcher at the University of California in Berkeley, US.
