Kenneth Khoo

Assistant Professor, NUS Faculty of Law

I am an Assistant Professor at NUS Law and an empirical law-and-economics scholar working at the intersection of law, economics, data science and AI. My methodological expertise includes econometrics and causal inference, supervised and unsupervised machine learning, information retrieval, large-scale data parsing, RAG systems, hyperparameter optimisation, and LLM fine-tuning, including LoRA-based adaptation. I also design agentic AI research systems, including multi-agent search and extraction pipelines, LLM councils, automated validation and adversarial review systems. My substantive research focuses primarily on corporate governance, corporate law, securities regulation and ownership.
