CTMF PhD Showcase 2025

Earlier this month, we celebrated five years of incredible research at the Centre for Technomoral Futures with our PhD Showcase.

Coming from a multitude of backgrounds, this extraordinary group of PhD Fellows shared their ideas through poster presentations and lightning talks. You can view their posters and learn about their research on the online event space.

Throughout the afternoon, our PhD Fellows conveyed a tremendous amount of information in ways that were accessible to an audience with diverse backgrounds ranging from philosophy, law and the social sciences to computer science, medicine, engineering and more. 

The showcase was a celebration of our PhD Fellow's hard work, as well as a testament to the fantastic research community we have fostered at the Centre for Technomoral Futures. Starting with our first cohort of four PhD Fellows, who embraced the opportunity to build a culture that fosters collaboration and provides a supportive environment from day one, we have built a unique multi-disciplinary research community. What was once a small group of scholars, we have now grown into a diverse community with 18 PhD Fellows and over 50 PhD, Postdoc, and Senior Research Affiliates, all contributing to our CTMF vision and making this vital work possible.  

We're so proud of everything our Fellows have accomplished and can't wait to see what the next five years bring!
