My research focuses on tax law, with a particular emphasis on the interaction between the digital economy and tax law. My scholarship argues that the digitalization of the global economy requires fundamental reforms to the U.S. international tax system and a fresh look at many of its theoretical foundations. My current research projects include an article exploring the taxation of cryptocurrency and its implications for taxing a digitalized economy more generally as well as a collaboration with a data governance scholar on the ways in which informational capitalism is clashing with existing legal regimes.
