I am an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Nebraska, where I teach Contracts, Business Torts and Unfair Competition, The Common Law, and Remedies, as well as a fellow with the Stanford Law School Program in Law, Science and Technology. I hold a JD from Harvard Law School (2010, cum laude). Before my current appointment, I practiced at Ropes & Gray LLP in Boston and at two Rochester firms, with a year in between as a law clerk for Judge Richard Wesley of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. While in full-time practice, I also served as a nonresident fellow at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. The combination of my computer science and legal training has drawn me toward technology-related issues in commercial law, which have been the focus of my practice and recent academic work.

My research focuses on the interaction between private law and technology. One major area of interest is how the common law responds to technological innovation and can be harnessed to complement the more particular statutory and regulatory schemes layered atop it. A second branch of my work explores how the tools of machine learning and artificial intelligence can be brought to bear on traditional legal questions. Through computational analysis of large bodies of case law, my research seeks to provide a more systematic view of our legal system and doctrines and to guide legal reforms and policy decisions. My work has appeared in journals including the Boston College Law Review, the Stanford Technology Law Review, and the Administrative Law Review.
