So, four years ago, I started pursuing a Ph.D. and researching the legal implications of relatively newer and unregulated technologies such as cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence. I also have been sharing my views on corporate and business law and matters at the intersection of law & technology here on my blog quarterly.
