Albert Nyarko-Agyei

Albert Nyarko-Agyei serves as a Research Fellow in Machine Learning at the University of Nottingham's Rights Lab and is concurrently completing his PhD in Geospatial Systems. He contributes to the Rights Lab's Measurement and Geographies Programme, focusing on developing statistical and machine learning methodologies to estimate modern slavery prevalence globally.

His educational qualifications include:

• Master's degree in Machine Learning
• PhD in Geospatial Systems (in progress) at the University of Nottingham

Nyarko-Agyei specializes in applying Convolutional Neural Networks to satellite imagery for human rights monitoring, with significant projects detecting forced labor sites in Indian brick kilns, generating national prevalence estimates of online child sexual exploitation in the Philippines, and developing assessment techniques for forced child begging in Niger. His interdisciplinary work bridges advanced computational methods with urgent social justice challenges in modern slavery measurement.

As a core member of the Rights Lab, he operates within this university-wide interdisciplinary research center dedicated to eradicating contemporary slavery through data-driven innovation and rigorous academic inquiry.
