Marilyne’s research sits at the intersections of the law, emerging technology policies, and cybersecurity. She tackles novel multidisciplinary issues by adapting methods from various disciplines including law, computer science, and crime science. Her current research focuses on the interplay between cryptocurrency service providers (such as exchanges), regulations, and users. Her previous academic work has extensively examined areas such as global policymaking and regulation of cryptocurrencies, and financial/computer crimes also involving cryptocurrencies.
