Professor Kreitmair’s scholarly work includes topics in clinical, research, and consumer ethics. Within clinical ethics, she works on questions around the determination of death in a clinical setting. In research ethics, she is interested in the moral status of novel “human brain surrogates”, such as human brain organoids. Within consumer bioethics, Professor Kreitmair focuses on digital behavioral technology, where she is particularly interested in the phenomenological, epistemological, and existential implications of self-tracking.
