I am currently an Assistant Professor of Law at American University, Washington College of Law. My teaching and research focus on Torts, Data Privacy Law, Artificial Intelligence Law, and Comparative Law.
Research
My recent research examines how legal systems can, and should, respond to opaque, AI-driven harms to civil rights and other social interests.
I investigate regulatory approaches to AI and data governance in the U.S., the EU, and Asia, and formulate proposals to address the challenges posed by data-driven technologies.
Scholarship
My scholarship on privacy and AI law has been published, or is forthcoming, in law journals including the California Law Review and Florida Law Review, and has been selected for presentation at leading academic conferences. My writing and commentary have also appeared in The Conversation and been discussed in public media outlets.
Previous Faculty Appointment
Before joining AUWCL, I was a Faculty Fellow (Visiting Assistant Professor) at the University of Michigan Law School, where I designed and led a seminar on Artificial Intelligence Regulations from American, European, and Asian Perspectives. I also served as a faculty affiliate with the University of Michigan’s Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program.
Honors
My paper “Data Privacy, Human Rights, and Algorithmic Opacity,” published in the California Law Review, received the Best Berkeley Submission in the 2021 Berkeley Technology Law Journal Writing Competition. My earlier article “Algorithmic Opacity, Private Accountability, and Corporate Social Disclosure,” published in the Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law, received the same award in 2020.
Education
I earned a Doctor of Juridical Science in 2023 and a Master of Laws in 2020 from the UC Berkeley School of Law, where I was awarded the Lloyd M. Robbins Fellowship and a Berkeley Law Merit Scholarship. As a scholar originally from Taiwan, I received the Overseas Doctoral Merit Scholarship from Taiwan’s Ministry of Education, awarded to one of the top two law doctoral applicants worldwide.
Privacy Professional
In addition to my academic position, I am a Certified Information Privacy Professional for United States (CIPP/US) and European (CIPP/E) data privacy laws, certified by the International Association of Privacy Professionals.
