At SEGAL, I am conducting research on global governance in cyberspace. My studies focus on three topics: national jurisdiction in cyberspace, the legal aspects of smart cities, and legal obligations of platform owners in peer-to-peer markets.

We are editing a book titled “Smart Cities in Asia: Governance and Innovation”.
