Professional experience
Bhumika is an India qualified lawyer and worked in trade policy for the Indian government for a year after law school. Having completed her Cambridge LLM (2019-2020) with a distinction-winning thesis on ontology of data supervised by Professor Simon Deakin, she is expanding her research at the Centre for Business Research.
Bhumika’s research mostly focuses on the broader questions of whether law is computable and how AI can help solve the foundational issues with the way law interacts with society.
Previous appointments
Outside of Cambridge, she was appointed as a research fellow with the Singapore Management University (2020-2021) to explore the practical implications of technology integration in mediation and other alternative dispute resolution processes.
