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.

The pro­ject looks at how smart tech­no­lo­gies re­con­fig­ure the home, cre­ate new re­la­tion­ships and how this chal­lenges the present leg­al frame­work for per­son­al data pro­tec­tion.
