Primary research areas

EU Digital Policy

I am interested in how the EU writes digital laws, what informs their regulatory choices, lobbying and the effectiveness of these laws. I am also interested in the comparative dimension of digital lawmaking.

Risk-based Regulation

I work with risk-based regulation in the digital sector, including the reasons that motivate the lawmaker to choose it and the obstacles companies have in complying with risk-based laws. I work with companies trying to understand strategic and organizational issues they face in working with the AI Act, GDPR, cybersecurity laws, platform laws, etc.

Strategic Compliance Management

SCM is a proactive, enterprise-wide discipline that treats compliance as a source of competitive advantage rather than a cost of doing business – integrating legal and ethical obligations directly into business strategy, product design and day-to-day operations

I understand how states write digital laws and what these laws do to businesses and the society.

My research helps companies: 

Understand how to create value and stay within law 

Work with risk-based compliance to stay competitive 

Deploy AI and build data-based business models lawfully 

My research helps society understand: 

How to regulate tech 

Which digital laws work and how and how laws impact innovation 

How to regulate up or down
