Michal Shur-Ofry is an Associate Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Law Faculty, and is currently an affiliate visiting faculty at NYU Information law Institute. 

Her research and teaching focus on Law and Technology, Intellectual Property, and Law and Complexity Theory. Her research is characterized by a strongly interdisciplinary approach, combining legal analysis with insights from the hard sciences and the humanities. She regularly collaborates with scholars across disciplines, including physics, mathematics, computer science, and economics. Her recent scholarship examines how insights from complexity and network theory can inform legal rules and policies across diverse areas of law. She also explores policy responses to the systemic effects of artificial intelligence and is interested in the intersection of law, AI, and collective memory. Her work in these areas has been published in leading journals. She is currently authoring a treatise—Law and Complexity: An Introduction (forthcoming with Cambridge University Press).
