I am a senior consultant and lecturer, specialising in space law and space policy at the Australian National University. I am Deputy Director of the ANU Institute for Space, with a focus on the Mission Specialists. I have over 15 years’ professional experience in academia and strategic direction of research centres and NGOs. I have been a Senior Lecturer at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, where I taught and researched comparative criminal law and international criminal law; Executive Director of the McGill Institute for Air and Space Law; Executive Director of Women in International Security-Canada; Acting Executive Director of the University of Pennsylvania Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law; and Senior Lecturer at the ANU College of Law. I have consulted to the Australian, Canadian and US departments of defence and to DFAT on space law and space security, and published widely on these issues.
