About

I joined the Department of Law as a lecturer in January 2018. I previously taught at Birkbeck, University of London, University of Greenwich and at Regent's University London. 

I am the Director of the Law & Technology Research Group at Kingston University. My research outputs are on space law and cyber law. I completed the International Space University's Space Studies Program at NASA Ames Research Center in California. I also worked on different projects at the European Space Agency. I was one of the founders and leads of the Space Exploration Project Group at the Space Generation Advisory Council in support of the Untied Nations Programme on Space Applications. I am also the founder of the Space Law Centre, the world's largest online database of space law and policy related issues.
