Luxmi ‘Lux’ Rajanayagam ist seit Mai Fellow am Institut für Internationales Recht, Geistiges Eigentum und Technikrecht der TU Dresden. Gemeinsam mit Prof. Dr. Anne Lauber-Rönsberg wird sie noch bis Anfang August in Dresden forschen und lehren.  

Ihre Karriere im Internationalen Recht und Geistigem Eigentum began am King's College London mit einem LLM-Abschluss. Danach absolvierte Luxmi ‘Lux’ Rajanayagam erfolgreich einen MSc in Intellectual Property Management an der Queen Mary, University of London. Dieses Studium veranlasste sie ihre Promotion im Wirtschaftsrecht, insbesondere im Bereich des Markenrechts zu machen. London ist für Luxmi ‘Lux’ Rajanayagam eine wunderschöne Stadt, aber sie findet auch Dresden sehr interessant. „I never planned on working in Germany, but life is funny like that. It can offer opportunities far better than one ever imagined.”

I don’t have social media, and I’d like for that to be true for as long as possible. It’s enjoyable being off the grid.
