Marianna Bezhanyan

I am a J.D./LL.M. candidate in International and Comparative Law at Duke University School of Law and a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles.
My research focuses on international law, national security, and international trade, with particular interests in economic sanctions and export controls. My current work examines U.S. semiconductor export licensing regimes as applied to post-Soviet countries.
Prior to law school, my research focused on immigration law, migration policy, and government surveillance. I have conducted legal research in both academic and professional settings, including at an international law firm and the UCLA Center for the Study of International Migration.
This website features my publications, research projects, and professional work.
