Hello! I am Carlos Castillo, but you can call me «ChaTo».
My current research on algorithmic fairness is part of a lifelong inquiry into how computer science can contribute to addressing issues of social significance through interdisciplinary work.
I am an ICREA Research Professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where I lead the Web Science and Social Computing Research Group.
I am queer and non-binary, and use they/them pronouns. I am also a Latinx migrant to Barcelona.
Current research
- Coordinating Horizon Europe project FINDHR on detecting and mitigating discrimination in algorithmic hiring
- Improving decision support for recidivism risk prediction
- Understanding gender biases in student evaluation
- And more (see publications)
