Professor Ilina Singh is a Professor of Neuroscience and Society and is the Agile Lead for EDI. She holds a doctorate in human development and psychology from Harvard University, and over the past decade she has added to these foundations through extensive work in bioethics, methods innovation, and sociology. 

She brings this interdisciplinary perspective to her current research through an approach known as empirical ethics. At present, her team's major research projects encompass: nature-based interventions for flourishing and wellbeing; AI and digital mental health ethics; and global mental health ethics.

Much of her work reflects a longstanding commitment to bringing the first-person experiences of children and young people into ethical evaluation, clinical decision-making and policy-making. Her team has pioneered participatory methods for co-design and co-production with young people, qualitative and quantitative methods, mobile technologies and digital games.
