Lucas Haitsma

Lucas Haitsma works as a PhD researcher and teacher within the Department of Constitutional Law, Administrative Law & Public Administration at the University of Groningen. Lucas's research focuses on the regulation and mitigation of risks of discrimination arising from the use of automated decision-making technologies in supervision and enforcement organizations. In this context, Lucas considers several themes such as current and future legislation, the operationalization, and implementation of legal and ethical principles, as well as risk mitigation strategies adopted by law enforcement agencies seeking to comply with such principles. His research is part of the empirical legal studies program, and as such combines qualitative and legal research methods. Alongside his research, Lucas teaches Administrative Law and Market Regulation.
