Dr. Anna Puzio is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Science, Technology, Medicine and Society (CSTMS) at UC Berkeley, coming from the University of Twente in the Netherlands. She is conducting research on the ethics of technology as part of the Dutch research programme Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies.

She studied theology, philosophy, and German language and literature in Münster and Munich (Germany), and received her PhD in Munich with a dissertation on the human conception in transhumanism. Following her doctorate, she held academic positions at the universities of Frankfurt am Main (Germany), Vienna (Austria), Oxford (UK), and Cambridge (UK).

Her research focuses on conceptions of the human being (philosophical anthropology) and the relationship to the non-human—both nature and technology. Her areas of expertise include robot ethics, religion and AI, medical technologies, enhancement and transhumanism, New Materialism and Critical Posthumanism (especially the work of Donna Haraway and Karen Barad), as well as diversity and gender studies (e.g., queer-feminism).
