I am a postdoc in Roman literature and history. At Lund University I have a four-year project on counterfactual thinking in Roman historiography, funded by the Swedish Research Council. I hold a PhD in Latin from Lund University (2018) and have since worked as a postdoc at The Swedish Institute in Rome (2018-2019), Bristol University (2019-2021), and Aalborg University (2021-2024). My main research interests are Roman historiography, Latin poetry, narratology, cognitive science, intertextuality, rhetoric, ideas of history, and history of ideas. I have co-edited a volume on Usages of the Past in Roman Historiography, and I have written several articles on late republican and early imperial literature, including in Mnemosyne, Histos, and The Cambridge Companion to Sallust.

In the Research Portal you can search and find information about all active researchers, units, publications, projects, infrastructures, and more, to get an overview of Lund University research.
