About Me

I'm Stephanie Ness, and I warmly invite you to explore my world of technology, law, and research. Inspired by professionals like Ada Lovelace, whose engaging and personal approach has set new standards, I aim to create a space that fosters connection and collaboration.

As a Chief Technology Officer and researcher with granted patents, my career is a fusion of technological innovation and legal acumen. With a focus on the societal implications of emerging technologies, my work revolves around digital assets, AI, and the protection of minority rights.

My academic background includes a Master in Information Technology from Harvard University, the Common Professional Examination in Law, the Legal Practice Course and a Master of Laws from The University of Law, London, a Diploma in Communications from MIT and a degree from the London School of Economics and Political Sciences. These experiences have been fundamental in shaping my understanding and approach to the interplay between technology and law.
