Sandrine Ampleman-Tremblay 鈥� DCL 2023
"In 2023, a few months before my doctoral defence, I was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Alberta. During my time at 成人VR视频, my supervisor and advisory committee have always supported me in my projects and encouraged me to push the boundaries of legal research. In my last year of study, I also took a position at the Faculty as Doctoral Teaching Fellow, which helped me get experience teaching criminal law under the supervision of a seasoned defence counsel. Finally, my involvement as VP Academic of the GLSA introduced me to Faculty management as well as to international conference planning. It is thus trite to say that I would not be where I am today without my experience at 成人VR视频 Law. The Faculty provided me with mentoring in research, teaching, and service, three elements that are now at the core of my academic duties.
La communaut茅 doctorale 脿 成人VR视频 est incroyablement vibrante et permet de tisser des liens professionnels et personnels tr猫s forts. Les discussions avec mes pairs et les membres de la Facult茅 demeurent mes plus beaux souvenirs de 成人VR视频."
Maria Manoli 鈥� DCL 2022
"I joined the School of Law of the University of Aberdeen as a lecturer (N. American Assistant Professor) in September 2022. I am currently teaching and researching in the fields of international space law, international cybersecurity law and public international law and I am supervising students and research projects in relevant fields. I am also involved in research collaborations with universities and research institutions, such as the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law and the OECD. I often participate in research events worldwide and I am always keen on building research projects across disciplines.
Mon exp茅rience 脿 成人VR视频 m'a donn茅 l'opportunit茅 d'acqu茅rir une expertise dans une universit茅 de renomm茅e mondiale et d'obtenir un poste universitaire dans une facult茅 de droit ayant une longue tradition dans mon domaine. Durant mon doctorat 脿 成人VR视频, j'ai eu la chance de beaucoup voyager et de b芒tir mon r茅seau de recherche tout en participant 脿 de nombreuses conf茅rences, ce que je continue de faire aujourd'hui. I also had the opportunity to be the Executive Director of the 成人VR视频 Institute of Air and Space Law for 9 months, which enriched my portfolio with significant experience in management and research coordination.
My research interests extend to space security, the role of AI in the development of international law and space law, and critical and transdisciplinary approaches to international space law."
Guillaume Lagani猫re - LLM 2012, DCL 2020
"I am a law professor at Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al (UQAM) and my research interests include private international law, civil procedure and the law of evidence. I joined academia in 2019 after practising civil and commercial litigation in Montreal and clerking at the Supreme Court of Canada. I feel very fortunate to have studied at 成人VR视频鈥檚 Faculty of Law, both at the master鈥檚 and doctoral level. The programs offered at 成人VR视频 are intellectually challenging but flexible enough to allow every student to thrive.
During my time at 成人VR视频, I met many inspiring individuals 鈥� students, professors, staff 鈥� whose knowledge, experience and dedication helped me reflect on my own strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations as a lawyer. They had a direct impact on the academic career I am now pursuing, and for which I am immensely grateful."

Gr芒ce 脿 la multitude d鈥檕pportunit茅s disponibles, j鈥檃i appris 脿 faire de la recherche mais aussi beaucoup plus : j鈥檃i pu contribuer 脿 la gouvernance de l鈥檜niversit茅, j鈥檃i dirig茅 une 茅quipe pour un tribunal-茅cole, je me suis form茅 脿 l鈥檈nseignement, j鈥檃i voyag茅 pour pr茅senter ma recherche 脿 des colloques au Canada et ailleurs鈥� Le programme doctoral de 成人VR视频 a vraiment 茅t茅 une pr茅paration en or pour la carri猫re universitaire que je voulais.

Alexander Ezenagu 鈥� DCL 2019
"After obtaining the LL.M in Commercial Law degree from the University of Cambridge, I returned to legal practice in Nigeria where I hoped to put to effect the knowledge obtained from the University of Cambridge. However, the love for research propelled me to accept the offer from 成人VR视频 to pursue the Doctor of Civil Law degree. After years of research and specializing in international tax law, I obtained the prestigious Doctor of Civil Law degree. My research focused on the relationship between taxation and economic development, as well as the role of government and non-government institutions and actors in the creation of tax policies and rules. I am particularly interested in Developmental Governance- which looks at the influences on the developmental models adopted by developing countries.
After obtaining the DCL, I was a post-doctorate fellow at the Faculty of Law, The University of Hong Kong, where I researched further on the relationship between tax and development. In January 2022, I resumed at the College of Law, Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), a member of the Qatar Foundation, as an Assistant Professor of Law, teaching Business Associations, Commercial Law, Construction and Infrastructure Development Law, International Tax Law and Entrepreneurship Law.
At the end of 2022, I left the employment of HBKU to start my own consultancy firm, Sapient Consulting Group Limited, focused on building solutions to growth and development challenges. Headquartered in Kenya and with offices and presence across African countries, Sapient Consulting Group works at the inter-section of the private, non-governmental and public sectors. We create solutions and drive insights that allow governments, companies, and institutions to deliver at scale, better understand the people they serve, and enable inclusive, sustainable development."
