Presentation

Dr Thibault MOULIN is a Tenured Associate Professor of Law at the Catholic University of Lyon and is mainly based at the Alps-Europe campus in Annecy. He is a graduate of the University of Manchester (PhD in Law) and the Grenoble-Alps University (Doctorate in International Law), and was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

His research interests focus on the adequacy of law in the face of emerging threats, with three main themes: conflictuality and the regulation of new technologies (cyberspace, artificial intelligence, neuro-technologies and transhumanism, jus ad bellum and jus in bello), crimes and the fight against impunity (international criminal law and human rights violations, extradition and immunities), as well as energy and the environment. He has published several monographs and articles in European and North American peer-reviewed journals.

He is a qualified Maître de Conférences (section 02 - public law), and is an Associate Researcher at the HUJI Federmann Cyber Security Center and at CERDAF. He also serves as a Captain in the Citizen’s Reserve of the French Air and Space Force
