Research interests
My main research focus is in Old English poetry, especially its compositional techniques and analysing evidence of intertextuality, but I am also interested in hagiography, translation, and literary culture. I have previously been a College Lecturer at Keble College, and a Research Assistant on the ERC-funded CLASP project. I have published on lexicography and artificial intelligence, and am also a commissioned translator of contemporary German and Portuguese poetry.
