My primary research concerns the transmission of the Byzantine music in the period c. 800-1500 AD. I also study fragments of Latin chant in sources preserved in Denmark and the history of scholarly editing. I teach courses in ancient and medieval Greek & Latin literature, palaeography, medieval civilisation, Church history and text transmission.
