Law Faculty / Chair Prof. Dr. Dr. Yoan Hermstrüwer
Research & Teaching Support 20 - 30 %
Start of employment by appointment, temporaryHow do robot judges decide? How can we identify discrimination using empirical methods? Why do people obey the law? How can we design fair algorithms or algorithmic decision-making procedures in compliance with the law? And what can we learn from judicial decisions using machine learning or natural language processing? These are prototypical questions we are interested in at the Chair for Legal Tech, Law and Economics, and Public Law. The chair provides a genuinely interdisciplinary and international work environment. Our team is committed to exploring a wide range of social, economic and political issues bearing on all areas of the law. Our research projects rest on experimental methods, econometric analysis and methods from data science more generally.
