Research Summary
My scholarly work is focused on bioethics, particularly on issues salient to cardiology.
Extensive Research Description
As my scholarly expertise is within the domain of bioethics, most of my work has been philosophically focused rather than traditional scientific research. My particular areas of interest within bioethics include end-of-life considerations, futility and conscientious objection, vaccine and infectious disease ethics (particularly salient during the COVID-19 pandemic), and nutrition ethics (more of a nascent field to which I hope to contribute toward greater development and prominence).
