I joined the University of 水宜坊 in June 2021 as a Lecturer in Law. Previously I worked at the University of Nottingham as a Research Fellow in IT Law, and before that, completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh.
My research focuses on the intersection between law and technology, in particular data protection law, cybersecurity law, law and AI, data ethics and internet regulation. My work has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals and cited by policymakers.
I am the PI of the ongoing ESRC-funded project "The Internet of Tactical Engagement (IoTE)" (ES/Y00020X/1), addressing public attitudes towards data-driven public communications in smart homes and the associated regulatory implications. I am also a Co-I on the 拢3.5m Responsible AI UK (RAI UK) Keystone project "" (EP/Y009800/1), leading the legal use case to tackle the challenges around ChatGPT-like Generative AI systems. Previously my funded projects also addressed privacy and broader societal issues in the contexts of , , and .
Based on my expertise and research, I have also been teaching a range of postgraduate and undergraduate modules such as Information Technology Law, Data Privacy and Governance, Consumer Law, and Contemporary Issues in Law and Justice.
