Hannah Sophie Weber

As a DPhil candidate at DPIR and a Junior Researcher at the European Cyber Conflict Research Initiative (ECCRI), my research examines public-private interaction in cybersecurity governance. Supervised by Professor Lucas Kello, I focus on cyber conflict and collaboration around critical infrastructure. Triangulating a range of data sources, my empirically driven work contributes to depoliticising the contemporary debate by establishing a timely analytical understanding of underlying dynamics.

I am a first-year DPhil Candidate in Politics interested in the intersection of political economy, business power, and judicial politics. My thesis research explores relationships between legal institutions, both international and domestic, and economic inequality in North American advanced capitalist democracies. I also pursue secondary research interests in labour and authoritarian politics.
