Anna Murphy Høgenhaug

Anna Murphy Høgenhaug is a Part-time Lecturer in the Master in Law (LL.M.) program at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, while concurrently pursuing her PhD studies. She serves as a Guest Researcher and External Lecturer at the MOBILE - Center for Global Mobility Law, with her primary affiliation at Karen Blixens Plads 16 in Copenhagen S.

Her research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and refugee law, particularly examining algorithmic decision-making in Scandinavian asylum systems. Key interests include explainable AI governance, bias detection in migration adjudication, and the legal implications of machine learning in administrative processes. Her work employs quantitative analysis of asylum decision patterns across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

Recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward demystifying 'black box' refugee status determination through XAI (Explainable AI) frameworks like SIDU-TXT. Her scholarship bridges technical AI development with practical legal applications, emphasizing transparency requirements under the AI Act and Nordic administrative law traditions.

Høgenhaug actively collaborates with researchers including Gammeltoft-Hansen, Jarlner, and Moeslund on interdisciplinary projects spanning law, computer science, and migration studies. Her ORCID profile (0009-0004-6715-0561) documents growing influence in computational legal studies.

Her teaching activities center on advanced legal topics within the LL.M. program, particularly courses related to AI regulation and international protection systems. Current research directions include developing holistic assessment approaches for NLP in legal contexts and analyzing religious conversion claims within Nordic asylum frameworks.
