Before having been selected as a Collegium Fellow at the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (between 2024-2027), I held an Assistant Professor position at the Faculty of Law of the University of Alberta, since 2018. I received an SJD (2015) and an LL.M. (2008) from Harvard Law School, a Master 2 recherche from Université Paris-1 (2006), and a bachelor’s degree in Hungarian law from ELTE University, Budapest (2005). I have held postdoctoral positions at New York University (2017-2018), McGill University (Montreal, 2016-2017) and the European University Institute (Florence, 2015-2016); and I have also been invited to guest-teach at the University of Vienna (2023) and UCLouvain (2024). I have taught Property; Citizenship, Immigration and Refugee Law; Jurisprudence; Digital Law; and I have coached the University of Alberta Jessup international law moot court team for five years.

I have three principal research fields, which are nevertheless united by a focus on the role of spaciality, territory and geography. The three fields are the interactions between property law and environmental protection; jurisdiction, sovereignty and territoriality in international law; and comparative immigration and citizenship law. At the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies, I am principally working on a book, on developing an environmentally sustainable system of private law.
