Pinar is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the UEA Law School. Her main research area is EU competition law and economics and particularly the prohibition of abuse of a dominant position under Article 102 TFEU. She is the author of The Concept of Abuse in EU Competition Law: Law and Economic Approaches (Hart Publishing, forthcoming 2011).
Pinar is particularly interested in the interface between legal and economic concepts underlying competition law and in particular Article 102 TFEU, such as welfare and fairness. She is also interested in the historical origins of EU competition law and the interplay between competition law and other areas of law, such as consumer law and contract law. Her research focuses mainly on issues surrounding the prohibition of abuse under Article 102 TFEU (in particular exploitative abuses, such as unfair pricing) and more broadly, on the objectives of this provision.

Pinar's PhD title was:
A Tale of Three Cities: Fairness, Welfare and Exploitative Abuse under Article 82 EC
