The Jurimetrics editors are pleased to announce that the Loevinger Prize for Volume 62 has been awarded to Professor Deven Desai & Dr. Christos Makridis for their article, Identifying Critical Infrastructure in a World with Supply Chain and Cross-Sectoral Cybersecurity Risk, 62 Jurimetrics J. 173 (2022).
Professor Desai is a professor of Law and Ethics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Scheller College of Business. He is also the Associate Director for Law, Policy, and Ethics for ML@GATECH. Additionally, he was the first and, to date, only Academic Research Counsel at Google, Inc., and a Visiting Fellow at Princeton University’s Center for Information Technology Policy. Professor Desai’s scholarship examines how business interests, new technology, and economic theories shape privacy, technology, competition, and intellectual property law and where those arguments explain productivity or where they fail to capture society’s interest in the free flow of information and development. His work has appeared in leading law reviews and journals including the Georgetown Law Journal, Minnesota Law Review, Notre Dame Law Review, and Harvard Journal of Law and Technology. He is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and the Yale Law School.
Dr. Makridis serves as a Research Affiliate at Stanford University, Columbia Business School, Arizona State University, Baylor University, and the University of Nicosia in Cyprus; an Adjunct Scholar at the Manhattan Institute; a Senior Adviser at Gallup; and a Senior Adviser at the National Artificial Intelligence Institute at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Christos holds dual doctorates in Economics and Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University.
