Gordana Dodig-Crnković is Professor in Computer Science at Mälardalen University and Professor in Interaction Design at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. She holds PhD degrees in Physics and Computer Science. Her current research has two foci, the first is mechanisms of 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. Dodig-Crnković interest in unconventional computing resulted in number of courses on the Masters and PhD level, while research in ethical and value aspects of technology resulted in many years of teaching of ethics for technology students, with special focus on new and emerging technologies, and in series of articles addressing ethical aspects of AI, robotics, and autonomous vehicles.

Research
