Alexandra Zorila, PhD student at University of Bucharest (Faculty of Philosophy) and member of The Research Center in Applied Ethics (CCEA). Her research interests focus on personal narrative identity in biomedical contexts, with an emphasis on the relation between identity-constituting narratives and agency.

She was part of the ENHATEC research team (enhatec.ccea.ro) and she authored/co-authored papers on the effects of bioenhancement technologies on the individual’s personal identity, authenticity and perceived agency as well as the integration of these effects into identity-constituting narratives. She also took part in public debates about the dystopic/utopic narratives related to technology and the way they are culturally constructed.
