Research areas

Psychological risk assessment in human-AI interactions

How do conversational AI systems affect vulnerable users? What patterns of emotional dependency emerge? My clinical work (10,000+ hours of direct patient contact) provides "ground truth" on psychological edge cases — manipulation, emotional collapse, dependency formation — that I now articulate with AI safety research.

Digital phenotyping ethics

Behavioral analysis through smartphones and digital traces raises major epistemological and ethical questions. My work interrogates the reductionist assumptions of digital mental health tools and proposes a psychoanalytic reading of data-related challenges.

Clinical practice transformation in the digital age

How does technology mediate the therapeutic relationship, body perception, self-representation? I have studied these questions since 2012, particularly through clinical work with cochlear implant recipients and patients with sensory prosthetics.
