Alex Chanhou Lou from Macau is a Visiting Fellow at Cornell Tech’s Digital Life Initiative (DLI), mentored by Professor Helen Nissenbaum. His work lies at the intersection of privacy law and legal history, with a particular focus on the historical transformation and contemporary significance of the right to privacy. Drawing on the framework of Contextual Integrity, Alex examines both historical and modern legal structures that have shaped the conceptual foundations of privacy.

As a Macau Fellow Researcher at the University of Macau, Alex earned his Ph.D. in Law (with honors) from Tsinghua University and previously held a Visiting Scholar position at Duke University School of Law. His research seeks to bridge historical inquiry with contemporary social developments, contributing to a deeper understanding of privacy within modern legal discourses, cultural narratives, and normative frameworks.
