Professor Elliott Ash, currently Tenure Track Assistant Professor at ETH Zurich's Center for Law & Economics, has been appointed as Associate Professor of Law, Economics, and Data Science in the Department of Humanities, Social and Political Sciences. In his research, Elliott Ash is particularly interested in the empirical analysis of law and the legal system. He applies methods drawn from machine learning, natural language processing and econometrics to large legal datasets in order to investigate the effects of laws, court decisions and contracts on human behaviour and markets. This places him at the forefront of international legal research. He has already obtained significant third-party funding, including an ERC Starting Grant in 2022, and has helped found four spin-offs.

Congratulations to Elliott on this well-deserved achievement!
