Adarsh Tripathi

About

Adarsh Tripathi is a Student Assistant in the research group “Digitalisation and Opening up Science” at the Weizenbaum Institute, where he supports research projects on AI governance, open science, and research data practices. His tasks include literature research, assistance in qualitative and quantitative studies, and data collection and annotation for AI systems.

Adarsh is a dual-degree student at the Hertie School in Berlin, pursuing a Master of Public Policy and a Master of Data Science simultaneously. His MPP thesis examined how organisations in Germany and the UK structure internal AI governance under the EU AI Act and the UK's principles-based approach. Prior to his studies, he worked at the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, leading the development of monitoring solutions for national welfare programmes and contributed field-based evidence to inform national policy decisions.

He is particularly interested in the intersection of AI policy, data ethics, and open science infrastructure, and brings both a governance perspective and technical skills in Data Science and machine learning to his work. He is drawn to questions of how transparency and reproducibility can be embedded into AI research practices — a theme that connects his policy background with the research agenda of the group.
