What I am investigating and what I have written.
RESEARCH & WRITING PORTFOLIO
I write because research does not always need thirty pages.
Sometimes an idea needs the space of a research paper. Sometimes a regulatory decision deserves a careful case analysis. Sometimes there is simply something happening in technology that makes me stop and ask: wait, what does the law actually say about this?
This is where those different forms of writing live.
Across them, I write mostly about artificial intelligence, privacy and data governance, consumer protection, digital platforms, and the increasingly complicated relationship between technological design and legal regulation.
