Biography

Dr. Panezi joined UNB Faculty of Law in 2023, after being awarded the Canada Research Chair in Digital Information Law and Policy (Tier 2). She holds a law degree from the University of Athens, an LL.M. from Harvard Law School and a Ph.D. from the European University Institute.

She is also an affiliated member of the Digital Civil Society Lab at Stanford University, where she conducted post-doctoral work, at the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence for Law and Automation (Lawtomation) at IE Law School where she taught since 2019, and recently at the Canadian Institute for Cybersecurity (CIC) at the University of New Brunswick.

Argyri's research explores the effects that disruptive technologies have on citizens, institutions and the law. She has been writing about legal challenges associated with the digital transformation of cultural heritage institutions, the digital transformation of justice institutions, Law and AI and about privacy challenges in the Web3 era.

At UNB Law she directs the recently established Legal Innovation Laboratory. Together with her research team, she studies participatory policy-making methods in e-justice design to enhance access to justice for underserved communities, especially in remote and rural areas. The team focuses on bilingual and multilingual communities in the Atlantic Canada region. They are also exploring how to resolve some of the tensions that are arising from the digitization of justice systems, such as privacy, security and accessibility.
