He is a Visiting Researcher at the Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute, and he founded the non-profit Internet of Things Privacy Forum.

Raffaele Angius is a Senior Adviser at the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI), where he has worked since 2008 and served in many different roles.

He is currently a member of UDI’s Identity Expert Team and Product Owner for ModPerson, the first step in the restructuring of the Norwegian foreign-national database from a monolithic to a domain-based architecture. This is a joint programme of the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration, the Norwegian Police Service, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Immigration Appeals Board, and the Norwegian Tax Administration.

Fun fact: Raffaele shares his name and place of birth with two cousins and one uncle, something which has always created some sort of identity confusion outside of home. After becoming a Norwegian citizen, Raffaele added a Nordic name to his original name but failed to inform the Italian authorities about the change. He thus became in effect his own alias and a walking identity paradox.
