About

I am an adjunct lecturer in Germanic Philology at the Department of Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Industries of the University of Parma, where I have taught since the 2023/2024 academic year. I earned my Master’s degree at the University of Trento in 2018. I also earned my PhD in Germanic Philology at the University of Trento, in July 2022. After my PhD, I taught for one year at the Department of Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, where I taught a course on textual criticism (“Storia e principi della critica del testo”) and a course on Germanic philology (“Filologia germanica 2 mod. 2”). I taught at the same department again in the 2025/2026 academic year, with the course “Filologia germanica (M-Z)”. From November 2022 to November 2023 I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Trento. From July 2024 to June 2025 I was a research fellow at the University of Perugia, working on the PRIN project “The textual legacy of the Ostrogoths in Italy: the Bible version and other texts”. I am a member of the Italian Association of Germanic Philology (AIFG), the Association for Digital Humanities and Digital Culture (AIUCD), the International Society for the Study of Early Medieval England (ISSEME) and the European Association for Digital Humanities (EADH).
