Unmil Karadkar, PhD

Unmil Karadkar holds a PhD in Computer Science and works a Scientist at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Aging & Care (CIRAC) at the University of Graz, Austria. He blends techniques from Social, Information, and Computer Sciences to study the intersection of aging and technology, especially data. This includes data by and about older adults and the contexts in which such data are created, used, repurposed, and appropriated. Unmil is engaged in several communities related to Open Science initiatives and leads data governance activities for the Aging in Data project, a SSHRC-funded project that brings together scholars from ten countries as well as community-based activists and organizations, which explores how increasing data gathering is shaping our experiences of aging and care.
