He received his Ph.D. in Classics from the University of St Andrews. He is interested in ancient Greek and Roman intellectual culture in the imperial period. His first book project, “Aulus Gellius and the Narrated Mind in Imperial Rome,” explores representations of knowledge in antiquity, history and theory of media, and in miscellany, collection, and gathered knowledge.
