After graduating from Auckland and Oxford, Andrew Simester started his academic career at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. He moved to the National University of Singapore in 2006 and, since 2015, concurrently holds the Edmund-Davies Chair in Criminal Law at King's College London. Professor Simester received an Honorary Doctorate from Uppsala University in 2019, awarded in recognition of his writings in criminal law and theory. He has published widely in these areas, and is also a lead author of two major treatises, Simester and Sullivan's Criminal Law in the UK and Principles of Criminal Law in New Zealand.
