I am an Assistant Lecturer in law at the School of Social Science, Law, and Education. My research focuses on digital governance, data protection law and fundamental rights in EU law. I hold a Bachelor of Business and Law from University College Dublin, a B.C.L. from the University of Oxford, an LL.M. from the University of California, Berkeley and a PhD from the London School of Economics. I am also a qualified solicitor in the Republic of Ireland.
I welcome expressions of interest to [email protected] from anyone wishing to collaborate or pursue MPhil/PhD research in the areas of digital governance, data protection law or EU law more broadly.
