Anja Møller Pedersen serves as a Postdoc and Research Fellow at the Centre for Information and Innovation Law (CIIR) within the Faculty of Law at the University of Copenhagen, where her work on EU privacy frameworks and digital surveillance technologies is co-funded by the university and the Danish Institute for Human Rights. Her research critically examines tensions between security imperatives and fundamental rights in algorithmic governance. Her academic foundation includes: Master of Laws (LL.M.) from the University of Copenhagen (2011) Studies at Paris-Panthéon-Assas University (2009-2010) Bachelor in Laws from the University of Copenhagen (2008) Dr. Pedersen's scholarship focuses on the legal ramifications of AI-driven policing, facial recognition systems, and data retention policies within European human rights frameworks. She investigates how surveillance capitalism and predictive analytics challenge constitutional privacy guarantees, with particular attention to Danish implementation gaps and democratic oversight mechanisms. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges legal theory, criminology, and technology policy to develop rights-preserving regulatory models for emerging digital tools. Analysis of her recent publications reveals three dominant thematic currents: the erosion of legal certainty in police adoption of biometric surveillance, the conflict between data-driven security measures and proportionality principles under EU law, and the need for transnational regulatory harmonization in information law. Her work consistently emphasizes empirical assessment of technological deployments against fundamental rights benchmarks rather than purely theoretical critiques. Scientific Awards No major scientific prizes or fellowships are documented in current public records. Her research is institutionally supported through University of Copenhagen-Danish Institute for Human Rights funding, with significant knowledge exchange via visiting positions at NYU Grossman School of Medicine (2017) and University of Amsterdam (2017). While formal student supervision isn't explicitly listed, her advisory role at the Danish Institute for Human Rights (2014-2016) and board membership in the Digital Security Council (2016-2018) demonstrate mentorship capacity in policy contexts. She operates within CIIR's collaborative ecosystem at the Faculty of Law while contributing to national discourse through the Digital Security Council (Rådet for Digital Sikkerhed). Her media engagements—including 16 press appearances since 2018 on topics like unlawful logging and PET surveillance practices—showcase active translation of academic research into public policy debates, particularly regarding facial recognition legality and predictive policing accountability.
