CV / Biography

Mohamed’s research and teaching span European Union law, constitutionalism beyond the state, and comparative public law, with a particular focus on federalism, sovereignty, fundamental rights, and value conflicts. His scholarship engages with developments across the EU, UK, US, and MENA jurisdictions. Beyond his main areas of focus, he is also interested in dispute resolution, political philosophy and the economic analysis of law. His work has appeared in leading journals, including Public Law, the German Law Journal, the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies, and the Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law. He is the author of the forthcoming monograph Navigating Divisive Rights in the EU and the US and co-editor of Edward Elgar’s Research Handbook on Judging and the Judiciary.

Mohamed holds a PhD from Cambridge and an LLM from Harvard, which he completed as a Fulbright Scholar. He has received numerous awards and fellowships, including the Cambridge Trust, Fulbright Studentship Grant, Harvard Academic Writing Fellowship, Yale University's Fox Fellowship, and the Cambridge CRASSH Early Career Fellowship.

Before entering academia, Mohamed held various professional roles, including serving as a judge and an advisor to the Law Reform Commission. He clerked at the US Federal District Court of Massachusetts and has provided advice to several governments on a wide range of policy issues and aspects of dispute resolution.
