RESEARCH AREAS
Regulation of AI
The regulation of Automated Decision-Making in the GDPR and in the EU Member States: from the right to explanation to Algorithmic Impact Assessment, from the DPIA model.
Vulnerable Data Subjects
The definition and protection of vulnerable individuals in the Data Protection framework, exploring how data protection law and consumer law can mitigate data subjects’ vulnerabilities.
Data ownership
The nature of personal data. How traditional private law structures (property, quasi-property, inalienability) could (not) be a solution to protect the fundamental right of personal data.
Data Protection and Research
Legal implications of data processing for research purposes: gaps and issues of existing law, including the problematic role of consent and appropriate safeguards for research.
Data subjects’ rights
The right to transparency, data portability, the right to object, the right not to be subject to automated decisions. The fil rouge between different individual rights in the data protection field
Data Protection Impact Assessment
How to implement the Data Protection Impact Assessment under a fundamental rights perspective; the notion of “harm” to fundamental rights and how the DPIA can be a tool for individual rights too.
Intellectual Property and Data Protection
The difficult relationship between trade secret protection and personal data protection; between software and database protection and transparency in the data protection field.
Consumer protection and Digital Manipulation
How consumer protection law in the EU can reduce manipulative practices. How mental privacy and moral integrity could be a limit to the exploitation of cognitive biases in the digital world.
Fairness in EU law
How the notion of fairness (mainly but not only) in the GDPR could be interpreted and contextualized in different contexts. How it is related to other well-rooted concepts (good faith, non-discrimination).
