I am currently a University Assistant in the Department of History at the University of Vienna, where I am completing my PhD in medieval history in co-supervision with the University of St Andrews (2024). 

After obtaining a MA in Germanic Philology (2020) and a MSc in Digital Humanities (2019), I undertook further training at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Oxford in machine learning and artificial intelligence for big data and text processing.

Prior to joining the University of Vienna in 2021, I was affiliated with the Department for Science and Information Technology at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Paris. 

My research specialises in early medieval England, and in the application of computational methods to palaeographical and philological analysis of Old English and Anglo-Latin source material. 

At Vienna, I teach as part of Digital Humanities master's programme offering courses on digital palaeography and stemmatology, TEI-XML encoding, digital scholarly editing, and textual criticism.
