Debora Nozza (she/her) is an Assistant Professor in the Computing Sciences Department at Bocconi University in Milan, where she co-leads the MilaNLP Lab together with Dirk Hovy. She was awarded a €1.5m ERC Starting Grant project 2023 for research on personalized and subjective approaches to Natural Language Processing. Previously, she was awarded a €120,000 grant from Fondazione Cariplo for her project MONICA. Her research interests mainly focus on Natural Language Processing, specifically on the detection and counter-acting of hate speech and algorithmic bias in multilingual context. She is also deeply interested in understanding how and why people use large language models (LLMs) in their everyday lives.

She is an organizer of the Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH), the Workshop on Gender Bias in Natural Language Processing (GeBNLP), and the Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment and Social Media Analysis (WASSA) at *ACL conferences, as well as the International Workshop on Protecting Women Online (TSWW) at the Web Conference 2025.

She also organized several shared tasks, including the first Homotransphobia Detection in Italian (HODI) at Evalita 2023, the Automatic Misogyny Identification (AMI) at Evalita 2018 and Evalita 2020, the HatEval Task 5 at SemEval 2019 on multilingual hate speech detection against immigrants and women on Twitter, and the TextDetox Shared Task at CLEF 2025 on multilingual text detoxification.
