Andrés Chomczyk is a PhD researcher at the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) research group of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and a MSCA fellow in the PROTECT ITN. He is visiting Dublin City University as a secondment of the PROTECT project.

His PhD research focuses on how make disclosure and transparency requirements useful within the context of the platform economy. In particular, he is exploring the development of a duty of assistance from data controllers, inspired by financial services regulation, to support data subjects in their data choices. Given this, his visit to DCU seeks to explore the influence of digital constitutionalism in the configuration and implementation of such a duty to safeguard the fundamental rights at stake.
