He completed his PhD in English (Medieval Literature) in 2022 at Wolfson College. His doctoral research, co-funded by Wolfson College and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), examined the development of longstanding literary motifs associated with Supernatural Visitation between the 12th and 15th century, with a particular emphasis on Latin and English works composed or circulated within Britain during this period.
