Mauricio Figueroa is an interdisciplinary legal scholar and educator with 12 years of experience bridging intellectual property, technology policy, and digital governance. Currently a CD Fellow in IP Law at Durham Law School, he convenes an LL.M. introduction to IP and tutors across contract and IP courses while finishing a PhD on human–ghostbot interaction. His background spans academic teaching in Mexico (UNAM), tech-policy leadership in Mexico City, and a research placement at The Alan Turing Institute, giving him practical insight into how law interfaces with emerging technologies. He has led national research funding efforts and designed regional online modules on informational privacy, reflecting a commitment to expanding access to legal and digital-economy education. Fluent in comparative and international perspectives from studies in Tel Aviv and Newcastle, he combines doctrinal teaching with empirical, tech-aware research methods. A less obvious strength is his track record of translating high-level policy and funding strategies into classroom innovation and research agendas that connect Latin American and UK academic communities.
