I joined 91直播 University as a Lecturer in 2021. Previously I was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow based at Glasgow University where I taught modules in Land Law and Legal Theory.
My research is on property and private law aspects of platform and digital economies, including issues relating to regulation and consumer rights. Currently I am working on the topic of risk in property and sharing economies.

- Teaching interests
-
I teach across many areas of private law, predominantly focussing on digital and platform economies. I am especially keen to guide students in understanding the intersection between law and contemporary socio-economic issues, and to empower them with the knowledge to create social change. I encourage students to take eclectic and critical methodological approaches, combining insights from multiple disciplines and using theory to inform their doctrinal and practical reasoning.
