I am  Professor of Law and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Tübingen and Director at the CZS Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Law. I previously worked at the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics, and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition and have been a Visiting Professor at Doshisha University in Kyoto and LUISS University in Rome as well as  a Visiting Fellow at University College London. 

I co-direct the CSZ Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Law. I am also a member and PI at the  Cluster of Excellence 'Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science' and serve on its steering committee. I moreover represent the University of Tübingen at the CIVIS Hub 'Digital and Technological Transformation'. 

I am fundamentally interested in how the law reacts to and is shaped by change, particularly in the form of technological innovation. My  research currently focuses on the regulation of artificial intelligence as well as on EU data law. Recent research projects have focused on the use of Artificial Intelligence by public administrations, the explainability of AI, on access to data for environmental purposes, on the regulation of data intermediaries under the Data Governance Act and on the notions of the data controller and personal data under the GDPR. I have been a member of a number of expert committees on digitalization, including the Council of Europe's ad hoc Committee on Artificial Intelligence. I moreover have ample experience advising national institutions as well as the European Commission and the European Parliament on different occasions.
