He continued to study as Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), completing a Research Master degree (LL.M.).

In his capacity as PhD researcher he participated in various research projects, most notably as part of a research group on collective redress in the European Union, funded by the European Commission.

Kai writes on European and International Economic Law in the broad sense. His research interests concern European internal market law, trade law, insurance law, regulatory policy, risk regulation, and legal theory, especially behavioural law and economics.

He is known in particular for his work on internal market law and global risk regulation in trade relationships. He is a pioneer on the implementation of scientific insights into internal market law ^[5][6][7][8] and on shaping the emerging field of global private law.^[9][10]
