I am a US-qualified finance and technology lawyer specialising in financial institutions, markets, and infrastructures. I have over ten years of experience in legal and interdisciplinary research, with an extensive publication record in leading journals in financial regulation, law and technology, and data science. I also have a demonstrated track record in securing competitive research funding, including from the European Central Bank within its Legal Research Programme.

My research explores how the basic building blocks of private law - contracts, property, and organizations - shape the way modern finance works. While these areas of law are often seen as general rules that apply across the economy, my work focuses on their role in the financial system.

A central question in my research is how these legal arrangements behave when finance operates at scale and under pressure, and how they interact with regulation. I also study how regulation increasingly works through guidelines, technical standards, and market practices developed by private actors, and how law and private ordering work together to manage uncertainty and keep the financial system functioning.

My work is international in scope. I teach and speak globally and regularly contribute to public and professional debates, and professional publications. I have held visting positions at FGV Sao Paulo, Hong Kong University, Nova University of Lisbon and Singapore Management University. 

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology and Society and a Research Coordinator at the Tilburg Law and Economics Center at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. I am also a member of the programme committee for the undergraduate Data Science programme jointly offered by Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology. 

I hold a J.S.D. from Columbia Law School, a Ph.D. in Law from the European University Institute, and an LLM from Duke Law School. I obtained my first law degree from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, my hometown. 

Before coming to academia, I was a finance lawyer at Ropes & Gray in London, where my practice focused on leveraged finance, high-yield bonds and restructurings, mainly in the telecommunications and mining industries.
