Celine Taylor Parkins-Ozephius serves as Junior Assistant Professor at Utrecht University's School of Law, specifically within the Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law and Criminology. Her academic appointment falls under the Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance, where she focuses on the intersection of criminal procedure and digital technology.
Her research centers on digital evidence reliability in criminal courts, with particular expertise in smartphone forensics, biometric authentication, and cross-border digital investigations. Current projects examine judicial frameworks for assessing technical evidence, EU standards for digital searches, and privacy implications of law enforcement's access to encrypted devices. Her work frequently addresses tensions between investigative needs and fundamental rights in digital contexts.
Teaching responsibilities include coordination of the master's course "In-Depth Criminal Procedure Law," where she delivers lectures and tutorials. She actively supervises master's theses in criminal procedure and digital evidence topics. Her publications demonstrate consistent engagement with emerging challenges in digital criminal justice, including EncroChat investigations, two-factor authentication evidence, and ECHR compliance in digital evidence collection.
Collaborative work appears across multiple Dutch legal journals and the EHRC Updates platform, often with Dave van Toor and other Willem Pompe Institute colleagues. Her research methodology combines doctrinal legal analysis with practical examination of investigative techniques, emphasizing the need for updated judicial frameworks in digital evidence assessment.
