Jiwei Zhou is a PhD researcher whose work delves into care for other-than-human beings we design and live with, in the context of biodesign.

Building upon more-than-human care ethics, and through a lens of materiality, her research focuses on bridging human-microbial temporalities, fostering reciprocal relationships, and facilitating the creative unfolding of everyday care practices towards microbial living artefacts. She advocates for multispecies kinship that can thrive amidst our current ecological crisis.
