Biography

I'm delighted to join Trinity as an Assistant Professor in Regulatory Law. I will be lecturing Environmental Law, and Legislation & Regulation on the LLB Programme and Law & Risk on the LLM Programme. I lead a Seminar on Emergency Law. I write on Climate Law, Citizenship, and Indian constitutionalism. Prior to this, I have taught and written on climate law, economics of regulation and development studies at the University of Groningen. Given the intimate relationship between regulation and behaviour, I turn to legal theory, comparative legal studies and interdisciplinary epistemology in my work. Researchers seeking to explore how law understands, shapes and responds to individual or institutional behaviour in different fields of activity are most welcome to get in touch. Before joining academia, I have been a researcher with the South African Institute of International Affairs in Johannesburg and practised infrastructure law in the Mumbai offices of Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff & Co. I hold a BA, LLB (Honours) from the National Academy of Legal Studies and Research, India, a dual-masters in Law and Economics from the University of Hamburg and the University of Vienna, and a PhD from the University of Groningen.
