Elvira Perez Vallejos
Elvira Perez Vallejos is a Senior Research Fellow and Co-Investigator on the UnBias project (Horizon Institute for Digital Economy Research at the University of Nottingham). Her research background is broad and heterogeneous including speech perception, language production (i.e., psychoacoustics and psycholinguistics) and also translational research on hearing, and applied research on clinical communication and mental health. She is a member of the Institute of Mental Health and deputy lead of the Integrated Research Group (IRG) Children and Young People Focussed Group at Social Futures. Elvira has always been fascinated by the unavoidable interaction between humans and technology. Relevant for the CasMa project is her recent work on Health Communication and e-Language applying corpus linguistics to ‘big data’ derived from internet users accessing specialised platforms such as www.youngminds.org.uk which focus on promoting children and young people mental health.
Virginia Portillo
Research Assistant at Horizon Digital Economy Research – Computer Science at the University of Nottingham. Her research focuses on engaging with young people to promote digital literacy and map users’ recommendations to guide the development of regulation, design and educational resources to tackle unnecessary bias in algorithm driven platforms. Key areas are: meaningful transparency and trust by design; the IoT at home – understanding users’ decision making processes; STEM public engagement and outreach.
Michael Rovatsos
Senior Lecturer at the School of Informatics at The University of Edinburgh, and Director of the Centre For Intelligent Systems and their Applications. His research focuses on making AI more human-friendly by developing algorithms and architectures that are able to understand humans and support collaboration between them. Making AI safe and ensuring it behaves in responsible ways is an important part of this vision.
