Kacper’s DPhil thesis explores the question of how to account for the role of limited resources and scarcity in judicial review doctrine in England and Wales. Beyond English administrative law, his interests include EU law and civil rights. Kacper's research is generously funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council OOC-DTP.

He was also a Bonavero Fellow at the AIRE Centre in London, where he worked on immigration and civil rights, as well as Research Assistant to Dr Shreya Atrey (S Atrey Anti-Racism as a Legal Principle (OUP 2026)), and to Ms Nuala Mole (in L W Gormley (ed), The UK and Global Citizenship Law (Hart 2027, forthcoming)). As an undergraduate, Kacper was an avid mooter, winning multiple prizes for written and oral advocacy, including the Best Written Pleadings Prize at the HSF Competition Law Moot Court.
