Meem Arafat Manab is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral fellow at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, investigating the possibilities and limitations of European Data Spaces. A queer Bangladeshi researcher fluent in six languages, Meem brings rare perspective to European tech policy—having taught computer science at BRAC University, completed a European Master's in Law, Data and AI, and worked with organizations from Fujitsu Research Institute to the World Bank. Beyond academic work, Meem is an award-winning creative writer published in outlets like Himal Southasian and The Business Standard, with a knack for making dense policy questions unexpectedly compelling.
