QUT Digital Media Research Centre alumni Dr Tegan Cohen has received the prestigious Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award (ODTA).
The awards are provided to the top five per cent of HDR doctoral students annually the year after they graduate, with nominations from examiners reviewed by faculty committees and ultimately decided by the Research Degrees Committee.
Dr Tegan Cohen, a Wiraduri woman, received the award for her thesis “The datafied polity: Voter privacy in the age of data-driven political campaigning” which spans the regulation of digital platforms and artificial intelligence, privacy law and theory, and the laws of democracy and electoral politics.
Dr Cohen now works as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S) and on Professor Nic Suzor’s ARC Future Fellowship.
