Jason Chung is an educator and attorney leading the development of esports business programs at major U.S. universities. Currently, he heads the Esports and Gaming Initiative at NYU’s Tisch Institute for Global Sport.

Prof. Chung has also been an expert presenter on data privacy for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as well as the Law & Technology editor for The Health Care Blog.
