My dissertation is a social history of nighttime in Ancient Rome. However, my interests range from the political and social history of Classical Sparta and Hellenistic Greece to Late-Antique Rome as well as Byzantine History and The History of Science. After finishing my dissertation, I plan on researching the history of the senses in the ancient world.
