Deeksha Prasad

I am a law academic who has four years of industry experience including teaching Corporate, Constitutional, and Human Rights Law, and I genuinely enjoy the classroom. My case-based teaching style earned an "Outstanding" rating for simulation exercises in Christ University, Bangalore, and I have mentored students as faculty coordinator of Debate Society. I qualified UGC-NET (PhD category) and currently pursuing a Ph.D. on AI regulation and consumer protection in e-commerce, with one published journal article and two forthcoming book chapters.

Before moving into academia, I practiced law for two years, which still shapes how I teach. I try to keep classroom discussion grounded in how the law actually plays out. I'm looking for an Assistant Professor role in furtherance for my passion for teaching where I can keep building that mix of rigorous teaching and active research.

In this regard, I have garnered exceptional feedback from my students and dignified respect from my peers.
