Mert walks us through his creative approach to educating on core privacy engineering concepts, particularly through the lens of storytelling, visual art & music.

Mert tells his "origin story" and dives into how he ended up in privacy and data protection. He highlights the thread of art & entrepreneurship throughout his career, which has taken him from musician to lawyer to start-up founder, and now educator.
Privacy Innovation Lab is a multi-stakeholder hub for privacy innovation. Mert highlights exciting projects that his students are working on, including an assessment tool to help practitioners build fair & lawful AI models and new tech in the self-sovereign identity (SSI) space.
While working at the lab, Mert came up with a “creative privacy" strategy, which he uses to inspire young minds about privacy engineering. In this episode, he takes us behind-the-scenes of his comic book project that’s meant to educate people who want to understand how modern software and data processing technologies function.
