Nancy Russo

Nancy Russo serves as a Part-time Lecturer at Malmö University, specifically within the Faculty of Technology and Society and the Department of Computer Science and Media Technology. Her research subject focuses on Computer Sciences, with specializations in Software Engineering and Information Systems. She is actively involved with the Sustainable Digitalisation Research Centre, which studies both social and technological aspects to promote sustainable digitalization.

Dr. Russo's research interests span the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and human-centered design. Her work explores how technology can effectively support various social domains including UX design, children's social care, and welfare technology for elderly care. She investigates practical implementations of AI systems, focusing on explainability, user acceptance, and the practical challenges of integrating machine learning into real-world applications. Her research demonstrates a strong commitment to developing technologies that address genuine human needs while considering ethical and practical implementation challenges.

Her publication record reveals a consistent focus on applying computational methods to solve real-world problems across diverse domains. She has examined AI explanations in data analytics platforms for UX design, machine learning applications in truck HMI systems, technology solutions for children's social care, cheating behavior detection using ML, and frameworks for sustainable welfare technology in eldercare. This body of work demonstrates her interdisciplinary approach that bridges technical expertise with social application contexts.

Nancy Russo collaborates extensively with researchers across Malmö University, particularly with colleagues in the Department of Social Work and other departments within the Faculty of Health and Society. Her work reflects the university's commitment to interdisciplinary research that addresses contemporary societal challenges through technological innovation while maintaining a strong user-centered perspective.
