My research focuses on international and comparative intellectual property law, including copyright, trademarks, patents, biotechnology law, and law and technology. I am particularly interested in exploring the challenges posed by emerging technologies on the way we share information and transact business in the modern digital society.

I am also interested in empirical, cross-disciplinary work that examines the connections between law, psychology and social behaviour, including studies that explore the impact of non-traditional trademarks (such as scents, abstract colour marks, and commercial symbols developed in virtual reality platforms) on the purchasing habits of consumers in an age of multisensory branding.
