What I do.
My research on the role of beauty in science, addresses the following questions:
- What role do aesthetic experiences play in scientific practice?
- Are beautiful scientific products, such as theories, experiments or images, more likely to reveal truths about nature or to mislead us?
- What is the role of creativity and aesthetic sensibility in scientific discovery?
- Does the automation of science threaten the aesthetic experiences of scientists, often seen as a leading motivators for scientific work?
- Can artefacts, such as artworks, generated with AI be valuable and under what conditions?
- Can AI enhance or diminish human creativity?
- What is the role of environmental ethics in the development and deployment of AI?
