Marc Schuilenburg

Functie:
Senior Scientist at TNO and Professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam on Digital Surveillance

My expertise and areas of interest include digital surveillance, big data policy, governance of safety and security, politics and crime control, and smart cities.

Professorship chair

Digital Surveillance (Erasmus University Rotterdam).

Research area

The focus of my research is on the increase in size and complexity of surveillance technologies, which increasingly rely on algorithms and big data to support decision-making and to predict ‘risky’ patterns and persons. I am interested how surveillance technologies can be designed with ‘care’ and sensibly to democratic values such as fairness, accountability and transparency. Special attention is given how surveillance technologies are understood, articulated, experienced or even resisted by various actors, and how these surveillance experiences can have real consequences for the results of a security program.
