Research

Roel’s research addresses the integration of data-driven technologies in societal infrastructure and institutions, with a focus on safety, sustainability and justice. His research strands include:

  • Data-driven methods for design and control of complex systems and services
  • Integrating design and governance for the responsible integration of data-driven and algorithmic systems
  • The political economy of advanced learning and control systems and their information technology infrastructures
  • The environmental implications of “artificial intelligence”
  • Safety of AI systems in sociotechnical design and policy contexts

Roel’s research is motivated by problems in energy (intelligent planning and operation of electric power distribution) and public administration.
