Fabrizio Kuruc

Fabrizio Kuruc is a Researcher at the Human-Centered Computing work group within the Institute of Computer Science, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Freie Universität Berlin. His work bridges computing technologies with human-centric applications, particularly in healthcare and data ethics.

His research spans Human-Computer Interaction, Privacy-Preserving Healthcare Technologies, and Value-Sensitive AI Design, evidenced by projects like Digi-POD (digital clinical decision support), ILLUMINATION (privacy-preserving LLMs in healthcare), and EMPOWER-U (patient-centered health data consent frameworks). Current thesis supervision focuses on human-AI collaboration in medical contexts, including LLM-based patient triage interfaces and automation bias in facial emotion recognition systems.

He actively contributes to teaching through the Research Seminar: Human-Centered Computing, Human-Computer Interaction, and Human-Centered Data Science courses. Recent milestones include the July 2025 funding of the Ethic-AID project addressing ethical AI implementation in clinical settings, alongside participation in Berlin's Long Night of Sciences (June 2025).

His ENKIS project develops frameworks for critical reflective practice in data science education, while ongoing thesis supervision explores privacy visualizations, conversational agent design, and hybrid intelligence configurations. Current student work includes developing self-tracking applications for Long COVID patients and optimizing privacy-utility trade-offs in health data analysis.
