In 2026-27 she will be a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the University of Michigan and Arizona State University to work on a project with the title The Politics of Synthetic Data: Regulatory Science and standardization at the FDA. The research wants to inquire into the politics of standardizing computational evidence (synthetic data) by the FDA. Who participates and who is left out in these processes of standardization? Why? What are the subjective choices made in the process of building a standard of credibility? Will the FDA be transformed along the process of making a standard?
