Professional Appointments
Dr. Adriana Banozic-Tang is a technology governance and GovTech scholar working in public policy whose work examines how digital systems embedded in public services can earn and sustain societal trust. She integrates behavioural science, institutional design, and implementation strategy to support the safe and legitimate use of emerging technologies — particularly in healthcare and essential public infrastructure. She contributes thought leadership to the World Economic Forum and Economist Impact, focusing on accountability safeguards that must be not only technically robust but also felt by users as fairness, dignity, and agency. As a Member of the UN Global Digital Public Infrastructure Safeguards Workgroup, she contributes to auditable and non-discriminatory governance frameworks for digital identity and data exchange ecosystems.
At Singapore Management University, she teaches across the College of Integrative Studies’ core curriculum and the School of Law, where her modules explore how governance, technology, and public institutions shape social outcomes and equity in a digital society. She also teaches applied public policy and digital innovation modules at Nanyang Technological University, preparing future leaders to navigate the ethical, operational, and societal implications of AI deployment in public systems.
Research Areas
Her applied research focuses on felt governance in clinical AI, trust indicators for citizen-facing digital platforms, and adoption frameworks for digital therapeutics in Southeast Asia. She has contributed to policy efforts convened by the OECD, UNESCO, WHO, and UNDP, strengthening alignment between global guidance and implementation pathways in Asia. She holds a PhD in Neuroscience, an MPA in Innovation Management from Columbia University, and executive training in public policy implementation from Harvard Kennedy School.
