Platforms / AI / infrastructure / democracy
Charis Papaevangelou

I study how Big Tech's platforms, AI systems, and material infrastructures reshape society and the environment.
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam's Institute for Information Law, where I work within the Public Values in the Algorithmic Society (AlgoSoc) programme. I am also affiliated with the University of Toulouse through the Horizon Europe FORSEE project.
My research brings critical media research, science and technology studies, political economy, and technology governance into conversation. I examine how large technology firms affect political, economic, informational, and natural environments, with growing attention to AI infrastructure, digital sovereignty, and the environmental implications of artificial intelligence.
