New professor for Digital Humanities and AI
The University Council has appointed Rosa Lavelle-Hill as Professor of Digital Humanities and AI at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. She will take up her position at the Digital Humanities Lab and the Department of Social Sciences on February 1, 2025.
Rosa Lavelle-Hill obtained a doctorate in Big Data Psychology at the University of Nottingham in 2020. She is currently an Assistant Professor with tenure track at the subject area of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen and at the Copenhagen Center for Social Data Science (SODAS). Previously, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Hector Institute for Empirical Educational Research at the University of Tübingen and at the Alan Turing Institute in London, where she worked on the use of AI to prevent modern slavery and other exploitative crimes. In spring 2024, she was one of the Junior Fellows of the Forum Basiliense at the University of Basel.
Her research lies at the intersection of social science, data science and AI, particularly in the development of ethical AI and the use of predictive models to understand human behavior and societal problems. In her work, Lavelle-Hill integrates psychological and social theories of human behavior with various data science and machine learning techniques, making an important contribution to the fields of environmental psychology, educational psychology, sustainable development, human rights and modern slavery prevention.
