Amanda Musco Eklund is a Doctoral student focusing on constitutional law, EU law, international law, and migration law, with a special emphasis on human rights issues related to border control and the use of new technologies. Her PhD thesis analyzes the implementation and use of autonomous systems in the EU's external border control and examines the legal principles guiding the rule of law in this context. Eklund is particularly interested in the legal requirements for human control to safeguard the deployment of autonomous systems, and her research aims to develop a legal theory around what constitutes 'meaningful human control'. She teaches various subjects including human rights law, constitutional law, and public international law at the Department of Law and the Police Education Unit, contributing to the education of students in these critical legal areas. Her research projects include an examination of the challenges posed by artificial intelligence and automation in the realm of EU border control, set to take place from October 2020 to March 2026.
