Teaching
I teach Egyptian history and civilisation to 1st year undergraduates and Coptic dialects to 3rd year undergraduates in the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies.
Research
My main areas of research are in Egyptian Demotic and Greek documentary and funerary texts from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. Within this, my most recent publications are focused on the study of the use of Demotic in the Graeco-Roman period, the interaction of Demotic and Greek languages, and the study of Demotic and Greek literacy.
I am working on the extensive unpublished Demotic and Greek mummy label collection of the Louvre and graffiti and ostraca from Gebel el-Silsila (Upper Egypt), as well as Greek funerary material in the British Museum.
Prior to working in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, I was a Research Associate at the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names Project in the Faculty of Classics (2019-2023), where I was responsible for the compiling the Greek names, written in Greek and Demotic, in Egypt.
