I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Law at Queen’s University Belfast. I coordinate the LLM in Law and Technology. I teach Regulating Innovation; Computational Skills for Law Students; and Data, Privacy and the Law. I have also taught Company Law and Corporate Governance on our LLB programme.
My main research interests focus on normative questions around ideas of corporate accountability, whether at the individual level or at the level of the corporation itself. My current focus is on how businesses, regulators and law put the language of human rights to work in addressing the impacts that business operations have on people, societies and the environment.
I welcome PhD proposals on accountability, business and human rights, law and technology, and on organisational accountability, corruption and ethics more generally. I am increasingly interested in computation-led analyses of corporate governance, CSR etc. This website contains some links to my research.
