Hello! I am a Ph.D. student in philosophy at McGill University and a S.M. candidate in bioethics at Harvard Medical School.

I'm also a Fellow-in-Residence with the Research Group on Constitutional Studies (RGCS) at the Yan P. Lin Centre for the Study of Freedom and Global Orders in the Ancient and Modern Worlds.

My main research interests are bioethics, political philosophy, and their intersections. My work focuses primarily on related questions about distributive justice, equality, fairness, health(care), and rights. A central idea of my work is that we come to a better understanding of justice by looking at what we owe to vulnerable persons and populations.

Before joining McGill and Harvard, I was a Fellow at the University of Toronto Centre for Ethics from 2022 to 2023. 

You can reach me at radheesh_ameresekere@hms.harvard.edu.

My favourite philosophers (in no particular order) are Kant, Rawls, Korsgaard, Zhuangzi, and Kierkegaard.
