Biography
Georgios Dimitropoulos is an Associate Professor of Law at HBKU Law. He is also a Research Associate at the University College London Centre for Law, Economics and Society (UCL CLES), and the University College London Centre for Blockchain Technologies (UCL CBT).
Georgios studied law at the University of Athens, and holds an LL.M. from Yale Law School, as well as an LL.M. and a Ph.D. summa cum laude from the University of Heidelberg. Before joining HBKU Law he was a Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg and a Hauser Research Scholar at New York University (NYU) School of Law. He completed an internship at the European Commission’s Directorate General Enterprise and Industry, whereas during his Ph.D. studies he worked as a research assistant at the Institute for German and European Administrative Law of the University of Heidelberg. He has also been admitted as Barrister and Solicitor at the Athens Bar Association.
Georgios’ research seeks to expand the boundaries of international economic law and dispute settlement, both thematically and methodologically. He uses mixed method approaches to unpack the complex relationship between international and domestic law. His work has appeared in journals such as the Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business, the Journal of International Dispute Settlement, the Journal of World Investment & Trade, the Law & Practice of International Courts & Tribunals, the Journal of Law & Policy, and the Maastricht Journal of European & Comparative Law. His latest co-edited book Regulating Blockchain: Techno-Social and Legal Challenges has been published by Oxford University Press in 2019.
