Bio
I have always been interested in the interaction between law and new information technologies from my undergraduate years. This has culminated in me being involved in writing a Ph. D thesis on “The protection of Personal Financial Data in Cameroon: A Legal and Human Rights Perspective”. Since then, my research focuses on Data Protection, Personal Data Protection and Privacy but also on Intellectual Property law and management. In this regard, I have attended and participated in about twenty six seminars, colloquia, workshops and trainings both as participant and facilitator.
