About me
Dr Ansgar Koene, Senior Research Fellow at the Horizon Digital Economy Research institute at the University of Nottingham.
Ansgar’s work focuses on regulation, design and education for minimizing unintended, unjustified and inappropriate bias in algorithmic systems.
He initiated the EPSRC funded UnBias project for “Emancipating Users Against Algorithmic Biases”, where he leads multi-stakeholder engagement activities to explore methods for tackling algorithmic bias with input from academics, educators, civil-society, regulators and industry. Closely associated with this activity Ansgar chairs the IEEE working group for developing the P7003 Standard for Algorithmic Bias Considerations.
Ansgar leads the Policy Impact activities of the Horizon Digital Economy Research institute, such as submission of evidence to UK parliamentary inquiries related to ICT and digital technologies.
Ansgar has a multi-disciplinary research background, having worked and published on topics ranging from bio-inspired Robotics, AI and Computational Neuroscience to experimental Human Behaviour/Perception studies.
