Interested in privacy, autonomy, discrimination, marketing, open data and governance. <p>I am currently a PhD researcher at the University of Southampton, a member of the Web and Internet Science Research Group, conducting interdisciplinary research about privacy and transparency, between the Faculty of Business and Law, and the Department of Electronics and Computer Science.</p> <p>My current research interests include ethical, political and legal aspects of personal data, open data, and information governance.
