Research
Asteropi's work combines legal doctrinal analysis, political philosophy, and rhetorical criticism. She holds an LLB (Hons; first-class) from Queen Mary University of London and a BA in Classics and Philology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. During her law studies, she was awarded the Senior Status Scholarship, the QM Research Bursary, and two prizes of outstanding academic achievement (Oxford University Press Prize for Equity and Trusts, UK Human Rights Law Prize) for the highest performance at the School of Law in her year. She has been conducting comparative research for international organisations, researchers, and practising lawyers on disciplines of broader interest, including vaccine distribution and health equity, immigration, family, maritime, international trade, and insurance, for submissions to top-tier law journals. She is a data visualisation enthusiast looking for the point where data, law, and philosophy meet.
