Katie McCay is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Bristol. Her research focuses on private law remedies available for interference with intangibles, particularly in the context of the digitalisation of ownership and control of personal assets. McCay examines how English law has struggled to address the complexities associated with intangible property, given that it heavily relies on possession as a proxy for ownership. Her work addresses the challenges that arise in defining and protecting various types of digital assets within the existing private law framework. In addition to her research, she teaches a wide range of subjects related to Private Law at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including Contract Law and Commercial Law. McCay is actively involved in research groups, particularly within the themes of Global Law Innovation. She has received multiple awards and recognitions for her academic contributions, including the De Hart Prize from Christ’s College Cambridge in 2015.
Department of Physics research themes include Astrophysics, Materials and Devices, Particle Physics, and Quantum and Soft Matter.
