About me
I am Assistant Professor in Law and Technology in the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge, where I'm a member of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, a Fellow of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, and a Research Affiliate of the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy. I am also the Richard Fentiman Fellow in Law at Queens' College, Cambridge.
Before joining the Law Faculty, I was a Senior Research Associate in the Computer Science Department at Cambridge as part of the Compliant & Accountable Systems research group. I hold a PhD in Law and an LLM in Law and Governance from Queen’s University, Belfast. For my PhD, I studied the use of machine learning in commercial and state internet surveillance, and the impact of these related forms of surveillance on people and societies.
