Marie-Therese Png, a Data & Society affiliate, is a facilitator and investigative researcher working in transnational alliance-building at the intersections of tech infrastructure, resource justice, and critical security studies. She holds a strategic role within the Green Screen Coalition, building coalitions in geographies such as Taiwan, Malaysia, Brazil, Chile, and Costa Rica.

She is completing her PhD at the Oxford Internet Institute on these topics.
