Adrián Arnaiz-Rodríguez

Adrián Arnaiz Rodríguez is a postdoctoral student at ELLIS Alicante.

He obtained his PhD in September 2025 at ELLIS Alicante (and the University of Alicante) under the supervision of Nuria Oliver (ELLIS Alicante) and Miguel Ángel Ortega (University of Alicante). He completed his stay at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) under the supervision of Manuel Gómez Rodríguez. His doctoral thesis focused on algorithmic fairness in AI decision-making and recommendation systems, both from technical evaluation and mitigation proposals, as well as its intersection with regulation. He also conducted research on graph neural networks (GNN). The title of his thesis was “A Sociotechnical Approach to Trustworthy AI: from Algorithms to Regulation.”

He studied a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering (2019, University of Burgos) and a Master’s Degree in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (2021, Open University of Catalonia).

The topics addressed in his research are fairness, reliability, and transparency in algorithmic decision-making and recommendation systems when using AI or GPAI systems, with a special interest in their evaluations and technical proposals.

In his more technical work, he focuses on the problems of GNNs, and in his more interdisciplinary work, he focuses on the intersection of AI systems with both new and existing regulation.
