Pervasive data collection and advanced technologies pose privacy risks, resulting in concrete online harms such as identity theft, algorithmic bias, and the erosion of individual autonomy.
This makes being a critically privacy aware citizen more crucial than ever, as privacy is fundamentally about power and the ability to control who knows what about you, and is essential for maintaining human dignity and civil rights.
As a privacy engineering leader, Dr. Majid Hatamian has more than 10 years of experience working at the intersection of policy and technology in industry, e.g., Google, Mastercard, as well as academia, e.g., Northumbria University, University College London, where he has driven innovative solutions to bridge legal privacy mandates with scalable technical implementations.
Majid also holds a PhD in Computer Science (Goethe University Frankfurt), focused on data transparency and privacy-enhancing frameworks for technological artifacts.
