About
I completed my PhD on the historical development of Roman maritime law at the University of Edinburgh in 2019. From 2019-21 I was Sir John Baker College Lecturer and Fellow in Law at St Catharine's College, Cambridge. In 2021-22 I joined the law faculty at Edinburgh University as an Early Career Fellow in Roman Law and European Legal History. In 2022 I was appointed Assistant Professor in Civil Law at the University of Cambridge and elected to a fellowship at St Catharine's College.
Research
My research interests include Roman legal and economic history, with a focus on the relationship between economic development and legal change during the Roman Republican and Classical periods. I have published work on Roman law, maritime law and long-distance trade in the ancient world.
