Maria P. Angel, Tech Policy Lab alumna and 2024 Ph.D. graduate from the School of Law, is already making waves in the field even as her career is just getting started.

A recent profile by the School of Law highlights Angel’s path from working in research and advocacy in Colombia to postdoctoral studies with Yale University’s Information Society Project.

She has already gained wide recognition for her work around technology and society and notes that her time at the Tech Policy Lab was one of her favorite memories.

She managed events as a research assistant and facilitated discussions on pressing legal and ethical challenges in technology.

“I was in charge of organizing the Tech Policy Lab’s weekly Tech Policy Discussion between December 2019 and April 2020 (just before the pandemic hit!). During these lunches, people from all over campus would come to the lab to discuss the most recent news in tech policy. In addition to meeting the larger tech policy community at UW, during those months I also learned from so many different perspectives and disciplines. I have wonderful memories of that period.”
