Veronica Fenocchio Azzi

I’m a multilingual Research Analyst with 10+ years of international experience evaluating complex information and producing and editing high-quality analytical deliverables for universities, consulting firms, government agencies, and international organizations. I focus on turning dense material into clear, evidence-based outputs with strong quality control.

In my recent role as a KYC Compliance Specialist, I review documentation for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with German and Austrian regulations for customer identification for clients such as Binance, Bitpanda, Bybit, and N26. I apply rigorous quality assurance checks to identify inconsistencies while processing sensitive information under strict compliance requirements. Previously as a Senior Consultant at Ecorys Europe, I led fact-checking and evidence validation for projects commissioned by the European Commission, UNICEF, and the UK’s FCDO.

I’m equally comfortable working at the intersection of research and teaching. As a Visiting Professor at Dublin City University, I designed and delivered the undergraduate Global Governance course and provided detailed, evidence-based feedback on assignments. As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow across University College Dublin and ADAPT Centre at Trinity College, I researched and taught on AI governance, crime-related disinformation, EU digital policy, and AI Act regulations, reviewing technical documentation, ethics reports, and policy papers to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Earlier, as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Getulio Vargas Foundation, I led research on public security legislation and military deployments in Brazil, building and maintaining structured databases of legislation, policy documents, and official records. I conducted qualitative analysis of legal frameworks, designed interview protocols, and shared findings with academic and policy audiences through books, journal articles, and policy papers. My background also includes earlier research support work at UCLA analyzing qualitative interview data and producing peer-reviewed publications focused on evidence-based public policy.
