My research is in European law, and centres on criminal law and security — particularly in the digital context — and on fundamental and human rights law. My work is driven by empirical observations of how European law and governance are changing in the digital age and the legal challenges I see emerging. I use both doctrinal and socio-legal methodologies, notably expert interviews.

My doctoral research sits at the intersection of EU criminal law and digital regulation. My dissertation, Private Responsibility, Public Power: How the EU Governs Security through Online Service Providers, asks how the EU has come to pursue security objectives through the regulation of online service providers, thereby renegotiating the boundaries between EU and Member State security and the role of public and private actors therein. It examines four instruments: the e-Evidence Regulation, the Terrorist Content Online Regulation, the Digital Services Act and the proposed CSAM Regulation. I am in the final stages of writing and expect to defend in 2027.

Parts of this research have already been published. My analysis of the e-Evidence Regulation, Privatising Mutual Recognition and the Challenge of Safeguarding Rights, appeared in the European Law Review in 2023 and was republished in European Current Law the following year; I also published a shorter analysis on Verfassungsblog. I have written a chapter on the Terrorist Content Online Regulation, which was published in the edited volume Digital Decade: How the EU Shapes Digitalisation Research (Nomos, 2025).

Aside from my doctoral research, I have published on questions of EU criminal law and human rights. A complete list of my publications can be found on the dedicated page of this website, and my recent work is also available via Cadmus.
