Researcher, School of Law, University of Canterbury

I’m a Researcher at the School of Law of the University of Canterbury (New Zealand). After having worked for some years as a practicing lawyer, I graduated with a PhD in Law from the University of Canterbury in 2020. My thesis was titled: “The Redefinition of Legal Parenthood in the Era of New Assisted Reproduction Technologies”. My research centres upon children’s rights and family law, with particular focus on the allocation of parenthood using current and emerging technologies of assisted reproduction, such as surrogacy, posthumous reproduction, mitochondrial modification etc. Together with other academics at the university, I enjoy participating in the exchange of socially useful academic ideas.
