Kaspar Rosager Ludvigsen,

Danish lawyer (jurist), Assistant Professor in Medical Law at the University of Durham (Law School). My PhD is the intersection between law and cybersecurity + themes that surround IoT/CPS/HCI at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. Yes, I can read math due to my weird background on top of being a lawyer, and yes, I too dislike that law has not adopted formal logic yet.

My current advisors are Crawford Review and Birgit Schippers. My past advisors were: Professor Shishir Nagaraja and Professor Angela Daly.

My affiliations for this position are the Department of Computer & Information Sciences, Centre for Internet Law and Policy and Strathcyber. I was also Research Associate at the University of Newcastle, where I worked in the Cyber and Resilience centre. This work was related to the PETRAS RoasT-IoT project. Following this, I started a new position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Laws School, University of Edinburgh. The publications from this are underway (two are out).

I am vividly interested and proficient in any kind of law, current working areas are many, some would be European Law, "cyberlaw", medical device regulation, public law and torts and their equivalents.

In cybersecurity, I am both very intrigued and interested in the general methodology and understanding of it, as well as the epistemology of attacking and defending, and really any type of attack and defence, and some safety engineering areas that touch security. Like above, it is really everything, but see my publications for my current obsessions.

Updates

May 2022: There are currently 5 different papers under construction. One is related to CSS, another justice, a third upcoming legislation, fourth to computational law and the fifth is unrelated to the PhD but part of a paid project.

November 2022: Currently, 4 papers are under construction outside of my other work. This include calibration/law/security paper and a critical future cybersecurity related medical device article. Mastodon verifier: Mastodon

April 2023: As I am changing jobs from Research Associate at University of Newcastle to University of Edinburgh, there are some of the current projects which may be subject to change.

May 2024: I have changed job from University of Edinburgh to University of Durham. Currently, two papers from the Postdoctoral Research Fellow position have to be finished. Outside of this, I have one legal philosophy paper underway, one collaboration on AI Voice Technologies, and potentially 3 more otherwise. My teaching in Cybercrime also ends this year.
