How has your career developed since graduating from ¶º±ÆÖ±²¥, and what is your current job role? )

After graduating from Bangor, I worked as a Teaching Fellow in Intellectual Property (IP) Law at Durham Law School and Warwick Law School. I was nominated for the Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence. I am currently a Departmental Lecturer in IP Law at the Faculty of Law, Oxford. I am an Associate Member of St Peter's and a member of the Oxford IP research centre. I am also the external examiner of Robert Gordon University.

I am the author of the monograph "Compulsory patent licensing and access to medicines: A silver bullet approach to public health", published by Palgrave in November 2021. This book, adapted from my PhD, has been cited in the Belgian KCE project "Compulsory licensing for expensive medicines" in April 2022.

In what way did studying Law at Bangor enhance your employability?

I owed a great debt to my former PhD supervisor, who encouraged me to apply for a research scholarship during my PhD and who wholeheartedly supported me in my job hunting.
