My academic work focuses on EU Intellectual Property law, especially copyright, alongside key topics in digital content distribution, consumption, and the evolving digital markets. Beyond intellectual property, my interests extend to privacy and data protection, IT law, and the broader legal frameworks governing the digital economy. In addition to my work on EU/EEA law, I am engaged in the harmonization of Ukrainian law with the EU acquis and Ukraine’s ongoing journey toward EU membership.

I obtained my PhD from the University of Tartu in Estonia with a thesis on "Reconciling the Material and Immaterial Dissemination Rights in Light of Developments under the EU Copyright Acquis". The thesis explores the developments under the EU copyright acquis against technological advancements and the distinction drawn between material and immaterial dissemination rights, restricting the application of a general limit to exclusive rights (‘exhaustion principle’) to tangible copies of a work. I argued for a need for reconciling the approaches in respect of secondary communication which would take into account the lawfulness of the initial communication as well as competing rationales of copyright protection. To this end, a normative framework for evaluating the justifiability of extending the reach of exclusive rights beyond authorising every initial dissemination of a work is offered.

In addition to my research, my practical experience in technology spans IT operations, server infrastructure management, contract negotiations for hardware and software resources, and ensuring IT compliance for the adoption of emerging technologies within organizations. This combination of legal research and hands-on technology experience enables me to bridge the gap between law and the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
