Sarah Wilson

Sarah is a PhD Candidate at the Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF). Her research examines the legal responses to technological innovation, with a focus on the emerging interdisciplinary confluence of quantum technologies, quantum mechanics, and the law. As part of this, Sarah works broadly across frontier science (including nanotechnology and quantum technologies) to explore the responsible development, application, and governance of rapidly evolving and complex techno-scientific innovations. She approaches these uncertain phenomena through the lens of social governance frameworks. Sarah has previously worked in the space of synthetic hazardous chemicals and nano-materials governance, collaborating with government and industry to better understand and manage the use of toxic substances in commercial supply chains.
