    Biography

    I am currently Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Postdoctoral Fellow (MSCA GF) at Maynooth University (Ireland) and International Institute of Information Technology - Bangalore (India). I hold a PhD in Social and Political Sciences from UCLouvain (2017) and was formerly lecturer of Research Methodology at UCLouvain FUCaM Mons (Belgium) and Visiting Professor at UFPE (Brazil).


    My MSCA project entitled "BehindAI – Building Responsible Technology: Global Digital Transformations, Tech Workers’ Agency and the Making of Artificial Intelligence" (EU Project ID: 101068828) is focusing on the relationship between technology and society – and more precisely on the agency and worldviews of tech workers, and the way they can contribute to a more responsible technological development.
