Biography
I am the Centenary Research Fellow at Selwyn College, Cambridge (2025-8), having completed my BA (2019), MPhil (2020), and PhD (2025) at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. My doctoral study was jointly supported by Corpus Christi College and by the Richard Claverhouse Jebb Fund.
Research
My research focuses on Hellenistic, Imperial, and late-antique Greek literature. I work on poetic texts in ancient Greek composed and collected over multiple centuries, focusing on the experience of temporal layering and dissonance within them as well as the formation and transformation of literary traditions and canons.
My doctoral research centred on the Greek Anthology, a Byzantine compendium of epigrams on love, death, and offerings to the gods written over the course of more than a millennium. I am expanding my doctoral thesis, The Collective Moment: Reading Time in the Greek Anthology, into a monograph, while embarking on a new project on the poetics of anthologised prophecy in ancient Greece.
I have also published on the history of classical scholarship and the text of archaic lyric poetry.
