My research is based in philosophy of science, where I am interested in the epistemic role of technology, scientific change, evidence-based policy (e.g. Canali & Lohse, 2024; Canali & Barone-Adesi, 2023; Lohse & Canali, 2021); the philosophy and ethics of data and information, where I am interested in the epistemic consequences of digital technologies, their broader ethical and social implications, AI and ML in science (e.g. Canali et al., 2022; 2023; Falcetta et al., 2023); philosophy of medicine, where I am interested in the datafication of health and digital medicine, conceptualisations of the environment and exposure, the epidemiology of the exposome (e.g. Canali, 2024; 2023; Canali & Leonelli, 2022).
