I am a professor of data science and public policy at the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin. At the Hertie School I am the director of the Data Science Lab - a new initiative to advance data science teaching and research at the School, and work with outside organisations to develop data science and artificial intelligence (AI) for common good.
Before joining the Hertie School faculty, I was a professor of public policy and data science at University of Essex, holding a joint appointment in the Institute for Analytics and Data Science and Department of Government. At Essex, I served as the Chief Scientific Adviser to Essex County Council, focusing on artificial intelligence and data science in public services. I also previously worked at University College London and London School of Economics.
I received a PhD in Political Science from Trinity College Dublin and a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Belarus State Economic University.
