Dr Pamela Nika serves as Senior Lecturer in Corporate Finance Law at Brunel Law School within Brunel University London's College of Business, Arts and Social Sciences. She teaches core courses including Banking Law, Theory of International Financial Regulation, and Practice of International Financial Regulation while co-leading law admissions initiatives.

Her academic credentials include:

• PhD in Law, University of Reading (thesis: 'ECB Monetary Policy and Supervisory Powers: Competing Objectives and Policy Conflicts')
• LLM in International Commercial Law (specialization: Banking and Finance), City University London
• LLB in Law, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

Nika's research critically examines Financial Law and Regulation through the lens of Corporate and Finance Law, Corporate Insolvency, and Law and Economics. Her specialized focus spans banking law, financial regulation frameworks, fintech innovation, and digital currency systems, with particular attention to institutional conflicts in EU banking governance. Current investigations analyze cryptocurrency regulation across US, UK, and EU jurisdictions alongside historical representation in monetary systems.

Her 2020 European Journal of Law Reform publication established foundational analysis of ECB mandate conflicts, revealing systemic tensions between monetary policy and banking supervision within the Banking Union framework. This work exemplifies her methodological approach combining legal doctrine with economic policy analysis to address modern financial regulatory challenges.

Research leadership includes:

• Principal investigator for 'Regulation of cryptocurrencies: US, UK and the EU' comparative study
• Lead researcher on 'Communities and representation on bank notes' historical project
• Collaborative work with Dr Hugh Colaco, Professor John Balmer, and interdisciplinary teams at Brunel

Professional engagement extends through ORCID (0000-0003-0669-7868) and active contributions to banking law discourse, building on prior practice experience at Athens Bar Association in commercial transactions and international finance.
