Lyria is Academic Director, Research in the Division of Research and Enterprise.

Lyria's research explores issues around the relationship between technology and law, including the types of legal issues that arise as technology changes, how these issues are addressed in Australia and other jurisdictions, and the problems of treating “technology” as an object of regulation. Recently, she has been working on legal, regulatory and policy issues associated with artificial intelligence as well as the use of artificial intelligence in courts and tribunals.  Lyria is a member of the editorial boards for Technology and Regulation; Law, Technology and Humans; and the Journal of Cross-Disciplinary Research in Computational Law and the Standards Australia committee for artificial intelligence standards. She is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, the Australian Academy of Law and the Royal Society of NSW.
