I am an international researcher with a PhD in Languages and Letters from UCLouvain. My expertise includes Eastern philology, manuscript studies, digital humanities and cultural heritage. I mainly explore intercultural contacts across the Eastern and Mediterranean worlds with a focus on the transfer of scientific and religious knowledge.
In my research, I work with sources in Classical Syriac, Ancient and Modern Hebrew, Classical and Modern Arabic, Classical and Biblical Greek, and Berber. I use a range of computational tools and methods: analysis of multilingual corpora, natural language processing (NLP), TEI-XML encoding, and multispectral image-enhancement techniques.
I have over a decade of experience in project management, science communication, and collaboration with academic and cultural institutions Currently, I am building bridges between research and society through public-engagement projects in Europe and beyond.
