Research Interests
Rory has his research focus on transhuman aesthetic evolution. He is fascinated by accelerating advancements in gene editing technology and cybernetic innovations, and how these will eventually be utilized by human beings to radically modify and transform their current fixed body design.
Rory believes this technology will have an impact sooner than we expect, and is interested to find out how we might see ourselves as transhumans of the near future.
