Aloke Prabhu
	Prabhu Aloke Narasinga has his interest in the idea of property and in the regulation of market. His approach is Gandhian in its nature and thus quintessentially considers ethical aspects of market transactions. His PhD thesis explores the dichotomies created by market transaction in balancing the questions of rights and obligations. He takes the framework of Gandhian economics to give perspectives on the frictions created by market. The attempt is to find a narrative of property theory based on moral economics of gandhi by balancing the rights and obligations. As an Edmond J Safra Center for Ethics fellow his work explores the property narratives in the conflicts of social order and liberty in a free market from a gandhian standpoint. Prabhu Aloke Narasinga did his bachelors in History and then in Law from Cochin Universtiy of Science and Technology. He completed his Masters in Business Laws from National Law School of India University before doing his MPhil and PhD from the Center for the Study of Law and Governance, Jawaharlal Nehru University under the supervision of Professor Jaivir Singh.

Attila Mráz
	Dr. Attila Mráz is a political theorist. His research revolves around three overarching themes: (1) How could political equality and fundamental participatory rights be reconciled with competent political decision-making? What legal and moral obligations should politicians, the press and citizens have in a democracy to ensure that voters and those who hold public power make competent decisions? (2) What are the justification, content and limits of the fundamental right to political participation? (3) What is the relation between private legal entitlements and political freedoms? How far can the former be used in the service of exercising the latter? If they conflict, which one should prevail? Expounding on this third theme, Dr. Mráz’s research as a Safra Fellow will explore how far businesses should be subjects of political freedoms, and how conflicts between political and economic (fundamental as well as private legal) freedoms should be resolved. Dr. Mráz holds a PhD in political philosophy from Central European University (Budapest). In his doctoral thesis, he focused on the justifications of competence-based restrictions on the right to vote, and argued for the unique potential of liberal democracies to reconcile political equality and the fundamental right to vote with high quality political decision-making. Prior to joining the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Dr. Mráz was also a Balzan Fellow at New York University, pursued research as a University Associate at the University of Arizona and as an Eötvös Fellow at the University of Warwick, and he was a visiting lecturer at CEU’s Department of Political Science.

Fabrizio Esposito
	Fabrizio Esposito’s research focuses on the relation between legal and economic discourses. His dissertation, Law and Economics United in Diversity: Minimalism, Fairness, and Consumer Welfare in EU Antitrust and Consumer Law, formulates an innovative proposal of mutually beneficial collaboration between economic and legal research. This proposal is grounded in the assessment of a new efficiency hypothesis of the law (“Consumer-Welfare Hypothesis”), where the maximand is consumer welfare and not total welfare like in Posner’s original one. The Consumer-Welfare Hypothesis has remarkable economic pedigree, bridges the gap between efficiency and fairness and has a superior explanatory power of the legal reasoning in EU antitrust and consumer law. At the Safra Center, Fabrizio will focus mainly on the contribution of his previous research to contract theory and on the dissemination of his proposal of collaboration between legal and economic research. He will explore in particular the relation between the Consumer Welfare Hypothesis, Gordley’s fairness theory, transfer theory and Dagan and Heller’s choice theory of contracts. Fabrizio has published in various international journals on a wide range of topics, spacing between the relation of behavioural sciences with consumer policy at the theoretical level and in the EU as well as their impact on the economics of law, the use of economic concepts in the analysis of proportionality reasoning and their relevance in legal reasoning with a particular focus on EU law. With Professors Micklitz and Sibony, Fabrizio has co-edited the forthcoming Research Handbook in Consumer Law (Edward Elgar), he is also invited guest editor for a special issue of the Argentinian legal theory journal Discusiones and has been in charge of the legal theory section of the European Journal of Legal Studies. Most of his publications are available on SSRN, academia.edu and researchgate. Occasionally, he tweets as @espositofabriz. Fabrizio holds a Combined Bachelor and Master of Sciences in Law from Bocconi University and an LL.M. from the European University Institute, where he is expected to defend his dissertation before joining the Center. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the University of Helsinki and a Global Fellow at the Catholic University of Louvain. Before opting for the academic life, Fabrizio has practiced law as a trainee in the Italian branch of a leading British law firm for two years.

Mickey Zar
	Mickey earned her LL.B. (2009), LL.M. (2014, cum laude) and Ph.D. (2018) in law, and her B.A. in Linguistics (2002, cum laude), and Literature (2002, summa cum laude), all from Tel Aviv University. Her Dissertation, "'Plenty to Hide': Resistance to Surveillance as a political action", written under the supervision of Prof. Michael Birnhack, explores the political nature of the right to privacy, focusing on digital activism, mainly non-institutional forms of resistance to surveillance. Her Research takes two complementary approaches to the challenge of linking the concept of the political with the concepts of privacy and individuality that are usually associated with the private arena, and therefore not sufficiently recognized as political concepts. One is a theoretical analysis of the political foundations of the concept of privacy, and the second is an analysis of acts of resistance to surveillance, which demonstrate "privacy in action". Mickey's previous work explored normalizing effects of data mining and profiling practices and the connection between privacy and identity. While at the Safra center, she intends to study digital "piracy" practices and the connections between virtual property offenses and piracy in its preliminary sense, as a crime against humanity.

Theodosia Stavroulaki
	Theodosia Stavroulaki’s core research agenda lies in the intersection between antitrust law, economic regulation and public policy. Aiming to explore the challenges antitrust enforcers face when applying competition law in socially sensitive sectors of our economy such as health care and education, and the conflicts that may emerge between the goals of competition and the social objectives these sectors in fact pursue her research asks: Should antitrust law take into account the public policy objectives these sectors pursue such as equity and access? And most importantly, should antitrust law take into account the key role these public goods play in the reduction of poverty and income inequalities?

Åsbjørn Melkevik
	Åsbjørn Melkevik received his Ph.D. in political studies from Queen’s University in 2017, and he was an Edmond J. Safra Post-Doctoral Fellow-in-Residence at Harvard University in 2017-8. Åsbjørn specializes in political theory, business ethics, and law-and-economics. He has published his research in journals such as Business Ethics Quarterly, the Journal of Business Ethics, Constitutional Political Economy, the European Journal of Political Theory, Ethics and Economics, the Erasmus Journal of Philosophy and Economics, the European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, and Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy. Åsbjørn has argued that classical liberalism has wrongly been regarded as an ideology that rejects the welfare state. If a necessary link exists between the classical liberal tradition and the moral and institutional dimensions of the rule of law, then this tradition is bound to uphold a substantial form of social justice. In business ethics, Åsbjørn has championed a theory of “business eunomics”, which explains why each kind of legal process, including managerial direction, is better suited for the pursuit of a limited number of ends, and therefore why we should seek a certain “eunomic equilibrium” in which different modes of organization will efficiently realize a given set of values.
