معرفی
Shiri Krebs is a Professor of Law at Deakin University's Faculty of Business and Law, where she serves as Director of the Centre for Law as Protection. She is also an affiliate scholar at Stanford University's Center on International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) and Chair of the Lieber Society on the Law of Armed Conflict. Her research spans interdisciplinary fields at the intersection of law, technology, and security, with particular expertise in international humanitarian law, drone warfare, cognitive biases in legal decision-making, and counter-terrorism.
Her research interests focus on how advanced technologies reshape legal processes, particularly in armed conflict contexts. Krebs employs empirical methods to study human-machine interaction in military decision-making, biases in counterterrorism, and international fact-finding mechanisms. She has developed a distinctive socio-technical approach to understanding how visual technologies like drone footage affect legal interpretations during warfare.
Her publication record shows a consistent trajectory of research examining the intersection of emerging technologies and legal frameworks. The most recent articles reveal increasing focus on algorithmic decision-making, data practices in conflict, and the social implications of cybersecurity technologies. Her work consistently bridges theoretical legal scholarship with practical implications for policymakers.
