About
Uta is Professor of Law and Technology at Southampton Law School. Her research interests have been broad ranging, mostly concerning governance questions of the internet - its territoriality, dominant corporate actors, personal data building blocks and technologies, such as algorithms and AI. She is interested in the intersections of related legal regimes (e.g. private and public international law; privacy and data protection), comparative law, and critical legal readings of developments in the law-and-technology field.
Uta has been published widely, including the monograph Jurisdiction and the Internet (CUP, 2007, ppb 2010), the edited collections The Net and the Nation State (CUP, 2017) and Data-Driven Personalisation in Markets, Politics and Law (CUP, 2021, co-editor J. Eisler) and the textbook Information Technology Law (5th ed, 2016, co-authors Diane Rowland and Andrew Charlesworth).
