I am Harisan U. Nasir. I am a Research Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore's Center for Biomedical Ethics (CBmE). I work primarily on the ethics of health insurance and on health inequality. My interests range from bioethics, public health ethics and the normative aspects of health economics and policy. I am also trained in both qualitative and quantitative methods. Prior to this, I was a postdoc at the NIH Department of Bioethics. 

My work crosses a variety of disciplines (philosophy, health economics, bioethics). I graduated with a PhD in Public Health from Rutgers University under the supervision of Prof. Nir Eyal at the Centre for Population-Level Bioethics. My dissertation examined the meaning of "actuarial fairness" and its use as justification for risk-adjusted premium pricing in public and private insurance. Ultimately, I argue that we should abandon actuarial fairness on a variety of grounds.
