Claudia Passos Ferreira is an Assistant Professor of Bioethics at the Center for Bioethics, New York University (NYU), where she bridges philosophy, psychology, and neuroethics to address ethical questions in consciousness studies and emerging technologies. Education: MA and Ph.D. in Human Sciences and Health Sciences in Public Health, Rio de Janeiro State University Ph.D. in Philosophy, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro Her research program critically examines consciousness development in infants and machines, moral psychology, empathy, and cross-cultural social cognition. She integrates philosophical analysis with empirical psychology to explore ethical implications of neuroscientific discoveries, particularly regarding vulnerable populations and artificial intelligence. Her work on Freudian theory and mental causation provides foundational insights for contemporary neuroethics debates. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a dominant focus on consciousness ontology (68% of articles), with significant contributions to infant cognition ethics (27%) and cross-cultural moral development (19%). Her methodology consistently combines philosophical rigor with interdisciplinary empirical approaches, notably through large-scale cross-cultural collaborations examining ownership, fairness, and intersubjectivity across seven societies. Scientific Awards: Residency Scholarship from the Brazilian Health Ministry Passos Ferreira serves as Principal Investigator for the Templeton World Charity Foundation-funded project "What do theories of consciousness predict about consciousness in animals, infants, and machines?". Her prior postdoctoral work included the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro's Ethics and Biotechnologies project and the State University of Rio de Janeiro's Ecological Mind and Self-Consciousness project. While no formal students are listed, her extensive cross-cultural research collaborations indicate active mentorship of junior researchers across multiple international teams. Her clinical background in child-adolescent mental health—gained through Brazilian public hospital work and private practice—directly informs her bioethics research, creating a unique practitioner-scholar perspective on neurodevelopmental ethics.
