I am a PhD candidate in Ancient History at the University of Hamburg (UHH, Germany) and study interstate arbitration in Greek antiquity. Being an epigraphist by training, I currently work on new inscriptions from Pergamon (together with Prof. Andreas Victor Walser and his team from the University of Zurich, Switzerland) and Miletus (together with Prof. Kaja Harter-Uibopuu from UHH).

I am currently working on a re-edition of an inscription commemorating a case of interstate arbitration, the Pitane-Mytilene dossier from Pergamon (I.Pergamon I 245). Beyond this, I focus on a systematic approach to interstate arbitration in Greek antiquity. Based on an in-depth analysis of legal terminology, I study ancient arbitration and its development over the centuries from both legal and historical perspectives.
