Zoé Vandenberg joined the ULB Smart Law Hub as a research assistant in September 2023.

She recently graduated with a master’s degree in public law and international law and is currently doing an additional master’s degree at the Institute of European Studies to specialize in European law. During her studies, Zoé took part in an Erasmus exchange program in Ireland (University of Limerick), during which she was able to improve her knowledge of international law and her command of English.

During her master’s degree, Zoé took the legal theory seminar given by Professor Benoit Frydmann, which dealt in depth with the legal issues raised by the development of artificial intelligence. The study of AI as an object of law, but also as a source of new standards, soon aroused her interest. This interest was confirmed by the research work carried out as part of this seminar: ‘Algorithms for predicting the risk of re-offending and the right to a fair trial’, which has now been published (co-author).

Her activities at the Smart Law Hub focus mainly on the use of algorithmic tools in the medical field. These are carried out under the supervision of Prof. Gregory Lewkowicz.
