I am a Senior Lecturer in Law, specializing in data protection law and policy, as well as law and emerging technologies. I joined the University in November 2018.

Prior to my current position, I lectured in law at the University of Hertfordshire and the University of Southampton, where I also completed my PhD.

Previously, I served as a Lecturer in Law at the University of Hertfordshire from July 2015 and as a Tutor in Law at the University of Southampton from December 2012 until June 2015.

I hold an LLB in Law from the University of Reading (2011), an LLM (Distinction) in Regulation and Technology from King’s College, University of London (2012), and a PhD in Law from the University of Southampton (2020).

Research Focus

My research primarily focuses on the development of data protection law and policy, both nationally and internationally. My PhD thesis examined data handling and disclosure practices of public sector organizations and how, given the limits of anonymization techniques, these may represent a risk to individual privacy and data protection. I am widely published in this field.

Additionally, I am interested in IT law, media law, freedom of information, data governance, and the interplay between law and emerging technologies more generally.

Teaching Responsibilities

I am the module coordinator for Data Protection Law & Policy at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In addition to this, I have previously taught Criminal Law, Public Law, EU Law, and Medical Law.

I welcome applications for PhD supervision on topics related to data protection law and policy.
