I am currently a PhD Researcher and Seminar Tutor at Trinity College Dublin where my research focuses on interactions between technology and law as well as law and policy and the Rule of Law in Europe and I teach seminars in European and Regulatory Law.
I received my LL.B. with first class honours from TCD and subsequently received a Masters of International Affairs from the Institut d'études politiques de Paris with distinction, and an LL.M. from Georgetown Law, also with distinction, where I was also a Fellow of International Economic Law and an International Scholarship recipient.
I have worked with the Centre for Law and Technology at Georgetown Law as well as with the Electronic Privacy Information Centre in Washington DC, the Institut for International and European Affairs in Dublin and as an independent policy consultant.
