PROFILE SUMMARY
I am a Privacy Law scholar, working at the intersection between Law and new technologies. I have been highly successful in publishing in leading academic journals and disseminating them to broader audiences. My doctoral research was highly interdisciplinary, bridging Private International Law and translation, in a critical perspective, and was conducted at Ca’ Foscari University’s Department of Asian Studies. During my last year of the PhD, puzzled by the social consequences of new technologies on privacy and other fundamental rights, which I explored while researching on Japan’s robot regulations as part of my studies for the dissertation, I started to research on the Law & Technology and Privacy field. After my PhD, I worked as a Privacy attorney & consultant in Milan, deepening my knowledge of the subject. After 2 years of maternity leave in The Netherlands, I successfully applied to Eindhoven University of Technology, working as first line for privacy and legal compliance of research projects. Recently, I explored the impact of the forthcoming AI regulation in industry and in research, and I organized the conference ‘‘Automated decision making, AI systems and fundamental rights’’ that addresses the challenges of automated decision making systems. In my latest research project, I explored the application of the AI Act proposal and ethical principles in practice, tackling the issues of bias in data and AI governance practices. I co-authored two papers on the legal issues of computational intelligence together with computer scientists and I helped them to develop predictive models, e.g., to build automatic reasoning tools in the Judicial field, and to achieve trustworthy AI models. A MSCA fellowship allowed me to continue strengthening my profile as a Privacy scholar and to build upon the insights gained during my career regarding the challenges and opportunities created by the use of health data. At the same time, it gaveme the opportunity to develop my research agenda in new directions, particularly concerning Data Ethics. Working under Prof. Pagallo’s supervision, being integrated in the University of Turin’s outstanding academic community, and participating in the University’s career advancement courses has been extremely helpful to train me towards achieving my goal of becoming a tenured academic and establishing my own research group.

2023 REALM – Horizon Europe
The REALM project aims to create a collaborative framework for regulatory authorities, application developers, healthcare professionals, and policy officers to co-create and evaluate software for medical and healthcare use. We propose to create an inclusive platform leading to a transparent ecosystem for the evaluation and certification of software in healthcare where both the developers and the regulatory (and Health Technology Assessment) bodies have access to a standardized set of technology stacks and data. I receive no compensation for this role.

2021-2022 ReMiDE – Regulating misinformation and disinformation: empirical evidences (funded
16.000€)
P.I. Dr. Elena Falletti
In recent years, the theme of disinformation and misinformation has become increasingly important. The fast spreading of fake news on social media, together with the progress of technologies such as deep fake, which can be particularly deceptive, has become a threat for democracy. In this scenario, it is crucial to understand how institutions may act to stem the spreading of fake news or at least to reduce the negative impact on society. This project is aimed at finding empirical evidences to sustain recommendations for a change in legislation.
2021 EXHALE – Horizon Europe Pathfinder Open proposal (submitted in 2021, rejected)
Beginning with an initial knowledge extraction phase, where we leverage meta-interpretative
logic synthesis to create rules from an opaque model, we intend to develop an architecture for building intelligent systems where humans and AIs form teams, able to learn from data but also to learn from each other by playing “serious games”, for a continuous improvement of the overall system.
