Biography

Dr. Asaf Lubin is an Associate Professor at Indiana University Maurer School of Law and an Affiliated Faculty at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies. He is additionally, a Faculty Associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and an Affiliated Fellow at Yale Law School’s Information Society Project.

Dr. Lubin’s research centers around the intersection of law, technology, and international security. His scholarship explores the complex legal challenges and intricate dynamics produced by technological advancements in the areas of national security and international law. In his analysis, he has examined the regulation of cybersecurity harms, liabilities, and insurance, as well as policy and institutional design around espionage and intelligence collection, artificial intelligence, privacy and data protection, and internet governance. His work draws on his experiences as a former intelligence analyst with the Israeli Defense Forces Intelligence Branch (2004-2009) as well as his practical training and expertise in national security law and foreign policy. Dr. Lubin’s work additionally reflects his time spent serving as a Robert L. Bernstein International Human Rights Fellow with Privacy International (2016-2017), a London-based nonprofit organization devoted to advancing the right to privacy in the digital age and curtailing unfettered forms of governmental and corporate surveillance. 

Prior to joining the Maurer School of Law in 2020, Dr. Lubin held numerous academic and governmental positions including as a Cybersecurity Policy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, as an Expert Contributor to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Group for the Education for Justice (E4J) Module Series on Cybercrime, as an Articled Clerk for the International Law Division of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office of the Legal Advisor, and as a Research Assistant to the Turkel Public Commission of Inquiry into the Maritime Incident of May 31st 2010 established under the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office. 

Dr. Lubin is the author of two forthcoming books: "The International Law of Intelligence: The World of Spycraft and the Law of Nations" (Oxford University Press, 2025) and "Teaching Cybersecurity Law and Policy" (Edward Elgar, 2026). Dr. Lubin has additionally co-edited the book-length anthology "The Rights to Privacy and Data Protection in Armed Conflict" (NATO CCDCOE, 2022) and published an open educational resource, Torts: Cases Problems and Policy Choices (Indiana Publishing, forthcoming, 2025).      

Dr. Lubin holds a dual degree in law and international relations (LL.B./B.A., magna cum laude, '14) from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Master of Laws (LL.M. '15) and Doctor of the Science of Law (J.S.D. '20) degrees from Yale Law School. He additionally attended The Hague Academy of International Law and interned for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. 

Dr. Lubin has previously taught at Columbia Law School and Yale College. He has published or has forthcoming pieces with the UC Davis Law Review, Ohio State Law Journal, Georgia Law Review, the Harvard International Law Journal, the Yale Journal of International Law, and the Harvard National Security Journal, among others. He is additionally a Contributing Editor at Lawfare and has and has written for Just Security.
