Biography

Sophia Andreou is a Research Fellow at the ELDR Institute Center for Regulatory Intelligence, where her research focuses on EU regulatory policy — particularly the AI Act, Digital Markets Act, and the evolving regulatory architecture for AI and digital financial services across the European Union.

Andreou brings practitioner experience from the EU regulatory environment, having worked on compliance documentation and regulatory affairs for financial institutions navigating the intersection of GDPR, MiFID II, DORA, and the emerging EU AI Act regime. Her practitioner background informs research that is specific enough to guide implementation decisions, not merely describe regulatory requirements.

Her current research at the Institute addresses the documentation requirements for financial services institutions deploying AI systems subject to both EU AI Act high-risk classification and DORA digital operational resilience requirements — environments where the overlap between multiple EU regulatory frameworks creates documentation complexity that requires structured architectural guidance.
