Profile and Research Interests
Poorna joined us from the Faculty of Law, University of Oxford where she was a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow and a JRF at the Queen’s College, Oxford. Her research focuses on the interaction of private law with intellectual property law. As a postdoctoral researcher, she worked on the conceptual and doctrinal analogies that can be drawn from tangible property law, such as land law and personal property law, into copyright law to examine the extent to which this can assist copyright balance. Her doctoral thesis was on implied licences in copyright law, where she analysed and applied principles of contract law to copyright law to develop a robust and predictive methodology for implying copyright licences. At Oxford she has had many years of experience offering tutorials in Land Law, Tort Law, Contract Law, and Equity at various colleges. In her spare time, she enjoys travelling to places of historical, architectural, and cultural significance. She has received training in Hindustani classical vocal music since childhood.
