Orestis Papakyriakopoulos
I am assistant professor (W2) of Societal Computing at the Technical Univerity of Munich. I am also PI of the Civic Machines Lab at the TUM Think Tank. My experience spans almost 10 years of interdisciplinary research in academia and industry with a focus on algorithmic fairness, the usage of data-intensive methods and social theories. My research has won academic awards, and has being widely cited by researchers, media outlets and policy institutions such as the U.S Federal Trade Commission and the European Commission.
Before joining TUM, I was research scientist at the AI Ethics team at Sony AI, and postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University. I studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Athens, philosophy of science and technology at the Technical University of Munich and defended my PhD in computer science at the same institution.
Currently, I build tools and perform fundamental research on platforms and artificial intelligence. I analyze new and old media by the application of data-intensive algorithms,
as well as the political and social impact of the use of data-intensive algorithms themselves.
In the past, I was co-creator of the political monitoring website political-dashboard.com, which provided a live overview of the US and German political landscape on-line. I have also served as an engineer, as well as in the communication and administration of science.
