Associate Professor of Law · Capital University Law School
I am an Associate Professor of Law at Capital University Law School, where I teach Property, Business Associations, and Law & Technology. I also teach Global Digital Law & Politics at Harvard Summer School.
My research works at the intersections of international law, technology, and infrastructure. It examines how communications systems, computational power, and digital infrastructures are intertwined with sovereignty, political economy, and global legal ordering.
My book, Cable Empires (Cambridge University Press, forthcoming), is a history of communications infrastructure, empire, and the making of international law.
My work has been published in the Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies, Heidelberg Journal of International Law, Brooklyn Journal of International Law, Denver Journal of International Law and Policy, Harvard International Law Journal Online, the European Journal of Legal Studies, and juridikum.
From 2020 to 2026, I served as Coordinator of the European Society of International Law's Interest Group on International Law and Technology, and have previously held research affiliations with Harvard Kennedy School, Columbia Law School, Harvard Law School, and Sciences Po Law School. Prior to entering legal academia, I practiced law in the areas of financial transactions and data privacy. I hold a PhD in Law & Institutions from the University of Turin and a JD from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco.
