Research
My field of research is Latin epic poetry, its tradition, and its interaction with contemporary politics and philosophy. I am currently working on a monograph on the theme of civil war in Lucan and the Flavian epic poets. I am also interested in reception studies, especially Christian (and) neo-Latin poetry.
