Short presentation
I am a professor of Ancient Greek. I have mainly specialized on the Homeric epics and their legacy. My work is driven by a curiosity to venture into new domains, methodologies, and materials, and I have conducted research on Latin American poetry, aesthetics, philosophical psychology, och trained machine learning models to restore lost segments of Ancient Greek papyri and inscriptions. A lecture on one of the oldest alphabetic inscriptions and ancient Greek dance is available as a video here.
