Personal profile
Research interests
I currently hold two roles at the University of Bristol: Lecturer in Digital Classics, and Project Co-ordinator for the Research Institute for Sociotechnical Cyber Security (RISCS). Having completed my PhD in 2025, I'm now developing my thesis into a monograph on the role of Crete in early Greek epic. I'm particularly interested in how Homeric and Hesiodic epic creates identity, authority, and truth, and how space works to shape plot in ancient and modern narrative. Before returning to academia, I worked across various roles in the private, public, and third sectors.
