Research interests
My research interests include the social and religious history of the ancient world, particularly of the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt during Roman times and in Late Antiquity. I have published on pagan religion, early Christianity, ancient demography, household & family, women's history, and ancient environmental & climate history. I am currently leading several projects funded by the Swiss National Science Foundations, 1) „The Roman Egypt Laboratory: Climate Change, Pandemics, and the Transition to Late Antiquity“ (2021–2026) and 2) "Urban Biographies of the Roman and Late Antique Worlds: Antinoopolis and Heracleopolis in Egypt, c. 100 – c. 650 CE" (2021–2026).
