Gordana Dodig-Crnković is a Professor of Computer Science at Mälardalen University and a Professor of Interaction Design at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. She holds PhD degrees in Physics and Computer Science. Her current research has two main foci: the first is on mechanisms of cognitive intelligent computation and the connection between natural/morphological computation, information, and cognition; the second focus is on the ethics of technology and the study of value-based computational design. In addition to her research publications, Dodig-Crnković's interest in unconventional computing has resulted in the creation of numerous courses at the Master's and PhD levels. Her research into the ethical and value aspects of technology has led to many years of teaching ethics to technology students, with a special focus on new and emerging technologies such as AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.
