I am currently an Associate Professor at the University of Exeter. My research spans general international law, international cyber law, and the law of armed conflict. I focus on questions such as: Has international law been able to keep pace with the rapid development of modern technology? To what extent does international law apply to military operations in outer space? Which factors transform the legal nature of an armed conflict?
I completed my doctorate at the University of Oxford (Somerville College) under the supervision of Professor Stefan Talmon. A revised and expanded version of my doctoral thesis was published by Oxford University Press as Internationalized Armed Conflicts in International Law in 2018. I have also studied at Charles University in Prague and at KU Leuven in Belgium. In 2012, I was awarded the Diploma of the Hague Academy of International Law.
At the moment, I am acting as the General Editor of the Cyber Law Toolkit project and I am participating in the Woomera Manual on the International Law of Military Space Operations project as one of the core experts. I have previously undertaken research stays and fellowships in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Israel, and China. I have also worked at the UN International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and at its sister tribunal for Rwanda, and later at the Slovak Constitutional Court as a law clerk to the president of that court.
