Academic Background:

I studied Ancient History and Classical Archaeology at the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), and completed a PhD thesis in Greek Epigraphy at the same University. I was assistant to my supervisor, Prof. D. Knoepfler, for four years while writing my thesis. I came to Oxford in 2005 to work as a researcher on the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, and joined St Anne’s in October 2008 when I was awarded a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Teaching Interests:

Undergraduate: I currently teach two papers, Alexander the Great and His Early Successors (336 BC – 302 BC) and Hellenistic World: Societies and Cultures, c. 300–100BC. In 2010 I gave a class in Hellenistic Epigraphy.

I have also taught Classical Archaeology in the past.

Research Interests:

I have broad interests in Ancient History, Classical Archaeology and Greek Epigraphy. My area of specialisation is Central Greece, particularly the region of Boiotia. My British Academy project, entitled Crossing Political Borders. Social and Cultural Interactions between Euboia and Boiotia (c. 700-171 BC), aims to carry out an original study in a comparative and synthetical form, not limited to one subject or one period, extracting and combining all possible evidence – epigraphical, archaeological, literary – of the social and cultural interactions and influences between Euboia and Boiotia between the Archaic and the Early Hellenistic periods.

I am also involved in the Thespiai Survey (Prof. J. Bintliff, A. Snodgrass and B. Slapšak). I study, in collaboration with Prof. A. Schachter, the inscriptions found during the survey.
