I am a historian and epigrapher, my research uses machine learning to study the epigraphic cultures of the ancient Mediterranean.

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at Ca' Foscari University of Venice (PythiaPlus project), undertaking secondments at Google Deepmind (London), AUEB and the IMSI Athena Research Centre (Athens). In 2021-2022, I am a CHS Fellow in Hellenic Studies at Harvard University.

I did my BA in Classics at the University of Pavia and a parallel MA in Humanities at the School for Advanced Study IUSS Pavia. I then moved to Oxford for my MSt in Greek History. I completed my DPhil in Ancient History at the University of Oxford in January 2021. In 2020, I was the Ralegh Radford Rome Awardee at the British School at Rome.
