Harshvardhan Pandit is a Research Fellow at the AI Accountability Lab (AIAL) in Trinity College Dublin. His research aims to understand the complexities that occur at the intersection of law (data acquis e.g. GDPR, AI Act), rights (privacy, data protection, consumer protection), and knowledge modelling (ontologies, taxonomies). His PhD (Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin) explored the application of linked data and semantic web technologies towards GDPR compliance, with a particular focus on consent and provenance. He is a member of National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) and works on standardisation within the CEN/CENELEC (EU) and ISO subgroups on privacy and AI. He chairs the W3C Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls Community Group (DPVCG) – which develops Data Privacy Vocabularies (DPV) for legal and practical applications. He is the co-editor of the ISO/IEC 27560 PII processing records standard, a nominated technical expert by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), and a PI in the RECIALS Horizon project and the HARNESS Doctoral Network.
