Overview

I am a PhD researcher focusing on Intellectual Property and Competition Law. I transferred to the School of Law and Politics at Cardiff University in 2020. Beyond my PhD I previously worked in Higher Education in Wales. My research interests focus on IP use in the digital sector and the effect on competition and consumers. As the economy moves increasingly towards a digital and online future it will be vital to ensure proper functioning of markets in this economic sector.
