Mais A.M. Qandeel serves as Senior Lecturer at Örebro University's School of Behavioural, Social and Legal Sciences, specializing in International Law and Law & Technology. She holds a Ph.D. in International Humanitarian Law from the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) and an LLM from the University of Pittsburgh (USA), with over 15 years of experience at international institutions across Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, USA, and Palestine.
Her research centers on three critical themes: (1) Palestine under military occupation, (2) implications of digital technologies on human rights and cybersecurity norms, and (3) environmental protection in armed conflicts. Her teaching portfolio includes Legal Tech, AI and Automation, Cybersecurity and Cybercrime, and Comparative Law, covering digital discrimination, data privacy, and international cyber norms at both graduate and undergraduate levels.
Her recent publications reveal a clear trajectory toward digital rights in occupied territories, with 2024-2025 works focusing on cyber surveillance in Palestine, facial recognition regulation, and constitutional frameworks for digital rights. These integrate environmental law with conflict studies through agent-based modeling of environmental damage.
Dr. Qandeel actively participates in the LDA - Law, Digitization and AI research environment and leads projects like Investigating Digital Rights in Palestine. Her scholarly impact spans editorial roles in Law and Sustainable Development: Swedish Perspectives (2021) and contributions to the Max Planck Encyclopedia of Comparative Constitutional Law.
Her operational framework includes directing FIRE Conference initiatives and presenting at major venues including RightsCon, CPDP.ai, and International Court of Justice symposia. Current work examines data violence in occupied territories and the ICJ's 2024 advisory opinion on Palestine.
