Mag.a iur. Angelika Adensamer, MSc, is a doctoral researcher in Subproject 1, within Research Unit 1, contributing to the project’s investigation of the legal, governance, and technological infrastructures that enable the elasticity of the EU’s external border. Angelika is researching the EU legal framework that enables border elasticity and analyzing the constitutional tensions arising from the implementation of the EU Migration Pact. She examines how administrative, algorithmic, and policy frameworks shape decision-making processes and the shifting operation of contemporary border regimes. She is also currently working on a visualisation of the concept of elasticity within the Pact and the fiction of non-entry. 

Angelika holds a Mag.a iuris from the University of Vienna (2014) and an MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice from the University of Oxford (2016). Her academic profile is complemented by publications in legal and technology-focused journals, including an article in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence.
Angelika’s broader research interests lie at the intersection of law, governance, technology, and migration,  with a particular focus on how digital and algorithmic systems influence administrative procedures and affect legal protection.
