Main profile
I am currently working on a research project that examines the interaction between cities in the late antique (4th-7th centuries) eastern Mediterranean and their environment while focusing on a reconsideration of ancient disasters. A related research project of mine focuses on the Justinianic Plague, a 6th century bubonic plague pandemic around the Mediterranean. Throughout my historical research I use methodologies and approaches from other disciplines to illuminate the subjects of my research, and I am particularly enthusiastic about interdisciplinary collaboration with other scholars.
