I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. My research uses machine learning to study the epigraphic cultures of the Mediterranean world, and I also work on the history and inscriptions of ancient Sicily.

Since obtaining my DPhil in Ancient History (University of Oxford) in 2021, I have held fellowships at the British School at Rome, Harvard's Centre for Hellenic Studies, and Google Cloud. In 2024 I will be returning to the UK for a Leverhulme EC Fellowship at the University of Nottingham. I co-led the Pythia (2019) and Ithaca (2022) projects, and am publishing the new inscriptions from Himera (Sicily).

I live in Venice, but I'm often out on the Mediterranean trail.
