Dr. Veronika Nagy is an Assistant Professor of Criminology at the Law Department of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research interests include surveillance, digital inequality with a focus on the connection between mobility and technology, including criminalisation, and digital self-censorship. She has conducted research on specific forms of securitisation, algorithmic surveillance, ethnic discrimination, and digital profiling, including the exploitation of migrants, forced criminal activities, and online bullying.

As an anthropologist working in the field of digital criminology, her research focuses on the transformative power of state-corporate security technologies and analyses the societal implications of surveillance in different geopolitical contexts. Her ethnographic research is primarily based in Central Europe.
