Hannah Louise Smith is a postdoc at the Centre for Advanced Studies in Bioscience Innovation Law (CeBIL) within the Faculty of Law at the University of Copenhagen.

Her research interests encompass the regulation of new and emerging technologies with a focus on data protection and privacy law. At CeBIL, she is interested in how innovation that is legal, ethical, and aligns with the public interest can be promoted and prioritised. Hannah's socio-legal background means she takes an expansive, citizen-cented approach in her research that considers a wide range of actors as relevant to her research and consider legal and extra-legal responses.

Her past activities include a research fellowship at the UWA Tech & Policy Lab at the University of Western Australia, where her research considered food deliver drones, wearable technologies, and movement surveillance, and as a researcher on the Unlocking the Potential of AI for English Law at the University of Oxford. 

Hannah obtained her DPhil and M.St in socio-legal studies, BCL, and BA in Jurisprudence from the University of Oxford. During her studies she taught Constitutional law, EU law, and Administrative law to undergraduates and acted as a lecturer for the graduate regulation course.
