HKU Law Welcomes (Back) Dr Ryan Whalen

Dr Ryan Whalen is no stranger to HKU Faculty of Law. We are very pleased to welcome him back as Associate Professor (with tenure).
   Dr Whalen’s research takes a data-driven approach to understanding the law and legal systems, with a particular focus on intellectual property law and innovation policy. This approach unites traditional doctrinal analyses with empirical techniques drawn from diverse fields including machine learning, natural language processing, network analysis, and data science.
     His work has appeared in a wide variety of journals including the University of Chicago Law Review, Research Policy, Science & Public Policy, the Northwestern University Law Review, the Yale Law Journal Forum, the Michigan State Law Review, and the Journal of the Patent and Trademark Office Society.
     Ryan Whalen holds a BA(hons) from Saint Mary’s University (Canada), an MA from National Chengchi University (Taiwan), a JD from the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, and a PhD from Northwestern University. While at Northwestern, Ryan served as the editor-in-chief of the Northwestern University Law Review. Prior to returning to HKU, Ryan served on the faculties at the National University of Singapore and Dalhousie University, and as a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago and the University of Glasgow.
