What It Is

This is the personal academic homepage of Konrad Kollnig, Assistant Professor at the Law and Technology Lab of Maastricht University Faculty of Law in the Netherlands. Konrad holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Oxford. The homepage systematically presents his interdisciplinary research focus, academic outputs, developed open-source tools, and team information, and also includes a personal blog section.

Core Features & Content

The homepage is structured into several key sections:

• It first clearly outlines Konrad's research directions, which focus on topics including AI regulation, digital privacy, the societal impact of platforms, and digital infrastructure resilience, with research that combines technical and legal methodologies.
• Next, it showcases multiple international research projects he leads, as well as several academic awards he has received in the privacy field. His research has been cited by many authoritative institutions including the European Union, OECD, and the U.S. FTC.
• Additionally, it highlights two open-source privacy tools he leads the development of: TrackerControl, an Android tool for blocking app tracking that has been downloaded over 200,000 times, and whose technology is adopted by DuckDuckGo; and an open-source anti-digital-distraction tool under the ReDD project.

Browsing Experience & Review

This homepage is stably accessible directly from within China. It features a clean design, fast loading speed, and clear information hierarchy that lets users quickly find the researcher's core information. As a personal academic homepage, its content is highly professional, and information on its open-source tools is fully transparent, making it very valuable for practitioners and researchers in the privacy technology space. The downsides are that it only offers content in English with no Chinese support, it is purely an information display platform, and offers no interactive features.
