I teach private international law, intellectual property law, contract law and American law. I supervise students writing masters theses and doctoral students.
My research focuses on the interface between private international law and intellectual property law and other related areas, with comparative and international law perspectives. In my dissertation, “Territoriality in Intellectual Property Law” (2016), I examined and compared the interpretation and application of the principle of territoriality in intellectual property infringement disputes
involving multiple jurisdictionsin the EU and US legal systems. For my post-doctoral research, I analyzed the private international law aspects of cross-border trade secret disputes in a project funded by the Foundation for Jurisprudential Research. The findings were published by Edward Elgar Publishing as part of the Monographs in Private International Law series.
