Dr. Lenzo is interested in dimensions of human experience, particularly perceptual and ethical. The three main areas of his research are fundamental questions at the intersection of ethics and ontology, like how a sense of responsibility does or does not contribute to our understanding of the world; questions in philosophy of technology, especially AI and digital platforms, such as whether interactions between humans and LLMs could be meaningfully described as “interpersonal,” and related ethical implications; and how to make sense of experience one may not be personally familiar with, for example, in the case of seemingly profound experiential differences in the context of psychopathology.

His work is interdisciplinary in nature, being based in both philosophy—especially history of philosophy, philosophy of mind, and phenomenology—as well as contemporary cognitive science.
