Biography

Aline Iramina is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Glasgow School of Law and CREATe. Her research and teaching focus on intellectual property and technology law, particularly copyright law, platform governance and AI regulation.

Before moving into academia, Aline worked for several years in copyright law and policy in Brazil, including in senior roles at the Ministry of Culture as Director of Regulatory Policy and General Coordinator for Regulation, Negotiation and Analysis. In these roles, she worked on the development and implementation of copyright policy at national and international levels, including copyright law reform, the implementation of the Marrakesh Treaty and the development of the National Intellectual Property Strategy. Her work also involved engagement with WIPO, the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a wide range of public and private stakeholders.

Aline is a qualified lawyer in Brazil and holds an LLM in Intellectual Property Law from the University College London (UCL). She joined the University of Glasgow as a PhD researcher in 2020 and completed her PhD in 2025. Her doctoral thesis, Copyright Governance of Algorithms: Towards a More Transparent Regime, explored the intersection between copyright law and platform governance, using the music streaming industry in the UK and EU as a case study, with algorithmic transparency identified as the main policy solution. 

Research interests

 

Aline's research interests lie at the intersection of intellectual property law, technology regulation and digital governance. Her current research focuses particularly on copyright, platform governance, algorithmic transparency and AI regulation within the creative industries. She is also interested in broader aspects involving theories of regulation and governance.
