About Amanda

Amanda Stanhaus has built a portfolio of industry and academic experiences examining socio-technical interactions and the corresponding ethical considerations. She translates ethical principles into practice in her role as a Responsible Innovation Senior Manager at Accenture.

Amanda holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan; her dissertation, advised by Professor Denise Anthony, examined health information flows through the lens of bioethics. She was awarded the NHGRI’s Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Genetic and Genomic Research Fellowship, and her academic excellence provided her the opportunity to design and lecture in the university’s Data Science Ethics course with Professor Christian Sandvig.

Prior to her doctorate, Amanda worked as a strategist for J.P. Morgan’s Blockchain team that open-sourced Quorum, a privacy-preserving version of Ethereum that incorporated zero-knowledge proofs, and as an operations analyst for a mobile banking start-up that leveraged behavioral economics. As a research assistant to Yale University’s Professor Theodore Marmor, she analyzed the politics of Medicare during its 50th anniversary. At McGill University, she worked with Dean Antonia Maioni to compare the welfare states of the United States and Canada while completing her B.A. in Economics and North American Studies.
