Dr Natalia Jevglevskaja is an Honorary Lecturer at the Faculty of Law and Justice, UNSW Sydney. Her research focuses on the intersection of law, data, and technology in the financial, military, and security domains. She has published on legal reviews of emerging military technologies and on data and technology governance in financial services, including analysis of Australia’s Consumer Data Right (CDR). Her work has appeared in leading academic and professional journals in Australia and internationally. She is the author of International Law and Weapons Review (Cambridge University Press, 2021) and co-author of Customer Data Sharing Frameworks (Routledge, 2024).

In 2024–2025, Natalia served as a co-investigator on a multi-million-dollar DARPA contract awarded to UNSW Canberra, UNSW Sydney, and Arizona State University. The project contributed to DARPA’s Autonomy Standards and Ideals with Military Operational Values (ASIMOV) program, which sought to develop objective, quantitative benchmarks for assessing the ethical complexity of future autonomy use cases and the readiness of autonomous systems to operate in those contexts in accordance with military operational values.

Natalia is also a Director of the Asia-Pacific Institute for Law and Security and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, UK.

Prior to joining UNSW Sydney, Natalia was a Research Fellow at UNSW Canberra, at the Australian Defence Force Academy, where her work focused on legal and ethical frameworks for the design and development of military and security technology.

Natalia’s earlier professional path includes research and editorial positions at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg, and in-house legal advice on matters of contract and labour law for private sector companies in Germany and Malta.

Natalia completed her undergraduate studies in law at the University of Heidelberg (2011), holds an LL.M in Public International Law from the University of Utrecht (2013), and a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Melbourne (2018).
