- Research Focus: Cyber operations under international law, autonomous cyber capabilities, AI in defense
- Teaching: Cyber International Law elective
Samuli Haataja’s research interests center on how international law governs cyber activities, especially in the context of national security. He investigates the legal thresholds for the use of force in cyberspace, the implications of autonomous and AI-enabled systems developed by states (including Australia), and how international humanitarian law applies to cyber conflicts. His work contributes to responsible state behavior in cyberspace and informs policy development in national defense.
His recent and ongoing research projects include a study funded by the Australian Army on autonomous cyber capabilities and international law, and a collaborative project with Professor Dan Svantesson (Bond University) examining the feasibility and legal implications of civilian cybersecurity reserve programs, inspired by similar initiatives in the United States. This research aims to provide best-practice recommendations for Australia.
Samuli completed his PhD on cyber operations and international law, which led to the publication of his book Cyber Attacks and International Law on the Use of Force: The Turn to Information Ethics (Routledge, 2020). While specific publications are not listed in the provided text, his scholarly output centers on bridging technical developments in cybersecurity with foundational principles of international law.
He is actively involved in mentoring and encouraging early-career researchers and students, advocating for thesis work and research collaborations. He emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary research in addressing complex cyber and security challenges.
