Réka Markovich

I research computational legal theory and study its applications in Artificial Intelligence and legal reasoning. My focus areas are legal knowledge representation, normative multi-agent systems, deontic logic, machine ethics, and XAI.

I am an independent research scientist at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Luxembourg: I am the head of the newly established Computational Law and Machine Ethics – CLAiM group in the Interdisciplinary Lab for Intelligent and Adaptive Systems, and I represent Luxembourg on the board of the Benelux Association for AI.

I am on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Applied Logics, and a corner editor for the Journal of Logic and Computation.
In 2021, I got elected to the international Steering Committe of the Foundation for Legal Knowledge Based Systems.
