Before returning to academia, Dorna Mohaghegh practiced intellectual property law in New York. Dorna was a senior associate at Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, a boutique law firm primarily serving the advertising and entertainment industries, and an associate with Willkie Farr & Gallagher, where she advised private equity investors in the technology sector. Dorna received her J.D. from NYU Law in 2014, where she was an Associate Editor for the Journal of Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law and a research assistant for Dean Emeritus Richard L. Revesz. Dorna received her BA in Political Science with a minor in American History from the University of Pennsylvania.
As a Ph.D. student in Jurisprudence and Social Policy at Berkeley Law, Dorna's scholarship centers on the intersection of epistemic rights, democratic theory, and regulation of AI technology. During her time as a Kavli Ethics, Science, and the Public Graduate Fellow, she plans to pursue research and collaborative opportunities in the fields of AI and law, particularly concerning epistemic issues raised by AI and how existing legal doctrines can be adapted to adequately support and regulate developing technologies.
