Before I was appointed junior professor of English Medieval Studies at Ruhr-University Bochum in 2023, I had obtained a PhD from Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich in 2021. My doctoral thesis was on the 8th-century Ruthwell Cross (published 2022, De Gruyter), for which I specialised in Old English and runology. I am not only interested in historical runes but also in modern adaptations of the runic script and its contexts (Medievalisms).
My research and teaching encompass Old and Middle English language, literature, and culture in general.
