Research Summary
Dr. Lubin’s research centers around the intersection of law, technology, and international security. His scholarship explores the complex legal challenges and intricate dynamics produced by technological advancements in the areas of national security and international law. In his analysis, he has examined the law, ethics, and governance of cybersecurity and privacy, espionage and intelligence collection, and artificial intelligence as employed in both peacetime and wartime.
