Georgia Antonopoulou is an Assistant Professor in Commercial Dispute Resolution and Co-Deputy Head of Education at the Birmingham Law School, University of Birmingham. She holds a PhD from Erasmus University Rotterdam and LLM degrees from the Universities of Freiburg and Athens.

She has held visiting fellowships at the Max Planck Institute in Luxembourg and Singapore Management University.

Her teaching responsibilities include modules on International Dispute Resolution, Contract Law, and International Commercial Dispute Resolution.
