Jonas is a postdoctoral researcher with a passion for how digital technologies shape cities, rights, and collective futures. He completed his PhD at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, where his doctoral work examined privacy, data protection, and citizen participation
in datafied urban environments, focusing on how digital infrastructures influence public space and fundamental rights. He has extensive experience across projects on data governance, IoT, open data, and public-sector innovation, and has developed participatory
methods such as walkshops. He has long been committed to connecting research, policy, and practice through writing, public events, and participatory formats. He also co-directs the CPDP conference in Brussels.</div>

<div dir="auto" class="ms-outlook-mobile-reference-message skipProofing">Federico Bonelli (伯弗瑞) is an independent researcher and creative director specializing in media-rich projects and generative art. He is the founder and director of the Trasformatorio artistic
laboratory and foundation. With a background in philosophy of science and dynamical systems, his work explores the intersection of art, technology, and open culture.<br>
<br>
Federico's practice encompasses visual and digital arts, film, sound, and the curation of collaborative situations. He advocates for an artistic process that prioritises transformation and relation over static representation, often working in off-grid and natural
contexts to foster improvisation and dialogue. His current roles include advisory positions for the MAIIIM Museum and Rossonove artist residencies in Italy. He is represented by ETHEREA ART GALLERY in Genova and is driven by the belief that art can be a transformative,
shared experience.<br>

I’m a critical media and communication researcher with a passion for how digital technologies shape our cities, rights, and collective futures. Originally from a small farm in north-west Germany, I’ve lived in Belgium for over 14 years and studied in both the
Netherlands and Belgium. Since 2013, I’ve been affiliated with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), where I have worked on various projects related to data in diverse contexts: cities, open data, personal data protection, digital rights, Internet of Things,
public sector innovation and more—well before starting my joint PhD in Media and Communication Studies and Social Sciences at VUB and UHasselt.</div>

My name is Mattéo, and I’m Swedish and Swiss (from the French-speaking region). I completed my Bachelor’s at the UvA in Politics, Psychology, Law, and Economics (PPLE), before pursuing a Master’s in Comparative and International Studies at ETH Zurich. There,
I began working at the intersection of technology and society, both academically and professionally. Professionally, I consulted the UN FAO on the effective adoption of large language models and interned in Europol’s innovation department. Academically, I
have conducted my own research and contributed to broader projects on EU policing database infrastructures and innovation ecosystems, using Human-Data Interaction (HDI), socio-technological imaginaries, and other STS and critical data studies frameworks.</div>

On the more personal side, I love swimming and do it weekly. I actually picked it up in Amsterdam, where I found a great team, which I’ll be rejoining soon. Swimming was originally a compromise, as I grew up sailing, but found it hard to keep up with the sport
on a student budget. I’m also into chess (not very good, but I enjoy the strategy) and any kind of board game. I really value the mix of community and competition that it brings. Finally, I’m a big fan of cooking and baking. I’m especially proud of my cakes
and, lately, my attempts at authentic Thai food. I really miss the country after spending an a couple months there for research.</div>
