I research the legal questions at the heart of how the internet is governed: how platforms make rules, how AI changes the information environment, and what law can and cannot do in response. My work sits at the intersection of practitioner legal training, academic research, and sustained engagement with the regulatory questions that matter most across the Asia-Pacific. My current research agenda examines how agentic AI systems — those that act with meaningful autonomy — create governance gaps that neither existing AI frameworks nor platform liability doctrine were built to close.

My most recent book, co-authored with James Meese, maps how law can work alongside technical and social mechanisms to address the disinformation challenges that generative AI has intensified. My first book examined how platforms use copyright, terms of service, and code architecture to shape user behaviour. Both are available open-access. Before my academic career, I practised as a corporate lawyer at Shook Lin & Bok and as in-house legal counsel at StarHub. TechNudges.org is my ongoing project to make rigorous analysis of AI governance and digital behaviour freely accessible — the same commitment that shaped the open-access publication of my first book.
