Eike Buhr M.Ed.
Eike Buhr studied History and Philosophy at the University of Münster (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster). He worked as a student assistant at the Institute of Educational Science in Münster and as a research assistant in the BMBF-funded project "Neuro-Enhancement in Education and the Workplace" (NEIBA). In his master’s thesis, he explored the potential influence of neuro-enhancement on allocation practices within the welfare state. After completing his second state examination and a teaching assignment at the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Social Sciences, he has been employed as a research associate in the Department of Medical Ethics since January 2020.
In the bioethical context, his work primarily focuses on ethical and theoretical questions regarding the digitization of healthcare, with a particular emphasis on psychiatry, ethical issues in dementia care, and the concept of privacy. As part of the BMBF-funded project TESIComP, he examines the ethical and theoretical implications of using AI-based expert systems in neuropsychiatric research and practice. His other research interests include political philosophy, with a focus on contemporary theories of justice, theories of the good life, as well as questions in legal and social philosophy.
