M. Fuckner (Marcio)
Lecturer ResearcherMarcio Fuckner, Ph. D., is a senior researcher at the Responsible IT lectorate at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. He conducts research on AI with various research and education partners, public services, and media organisations. Marcio is also a lecturer in the Master of Applied AI program.
Education
Marcio completed his bachelor's degree in Software Engineering at the Pontifical Catholic University of Parana and his master's degree in Computer Science at the same Brazilian institution. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Sorbonne University Alliance UTC in France.
Research
His research focuses on leveraging methodologies to embed responsible practices into AI systems. Some examples: in speech recognition systems, he conducted research to quantify bias for different groups. He proposed a simulation for recommender systems to analyse the effects of echo chambers and filter bubbles.
