Prof. Nadya Purtova is our latest ambassador, working in the faculty of Law, Economics and Governance. On September 1st 2021, she has been appointed as chair of "Law, Innovation and Technology". Her primary area of expertise is privacy and data protection law and their interface with other legal domains. More recently she conducted research on the meaning of identification and anonymization under the GDPR. Her other research interests include health law, regulation of medical technology, regulation of AI, product safety, cybersecurity, and economic data law. Aside from the focus area Applied Data Science, Nadya's research profile is also related to the "Governing the Digital Society" and "Human-Centered AI" focus areas.

She is interested in (setting up) collaborations with computer and data scientists and projects involving computer and data science which roughly fall within two broad categories:

1. What law means for technology, e.g. which legal requirements are relevant for certain technologies and how can those technologies meet those requirements? Think, for instance, of the requirements of data protection law (especially relevant for data sharing), the upcoming AI Regulation, medical device regulation, and others.
2. What technology means for law, e.g. how can technology be used to help meet legal requirements and how does tech challenge existing legal requirements. Think of federated learning, multi-party computation and encryption used to ensure data protection, security and confidentiality.

Please contact Prof. Nadya Purtova if you are interested in collaborating.
