Eirik Welo serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas at the University of Oslo's Faculty of Humanities. His academic profile centers on classical philology with specialization in Greek and Latin textual studies, maintaining active roles in multiple research initiatives focused on antiquity and linguistic analysis. His research spans Classical Philology , Textual Criticism of Greek tragedies (particularly Sophocles' works), and Ancient Indo-European languages , with additional interests in Ancient Medicine and epic poetics . Methodologically, Welo integrates computational linguistics with traditional philological approaches to analyze linguistic structures across Indo-European language corpora. Publication trends reveal a dual trajectory: recent works (2019-2022) focus intensely on Sophoclean textual criticism and Latin poetry analysis, while earlier publications (2001-2014) demonstrate foundational contributions to computational linguistics applied to ancient texts, particularly in corpus annotation and New Testament Greek analysis. This evolution reflects growing interdisciplinary convergence between classical studies and digital humanities. Welo actively participates in three key research groups: Linguistics and Poetics (examining structural elements of literary form), Norway's Antiquity (investigating classical reception in Norwegian contexts), and Novel and Epic, Ancient and Modern (NEAM) (tracing narrative traditions from antiquity to contemporary literature), demonstrating sustained institutional engagement in collaborative scholarship.

Erik Pulz is a Research Fellow in Latin Philology at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, where he has served since April 2017 under Prof. Dr. Rainer Jakobi's chair. He earned his doctorate (Dr. phil.) from the same institution in February 2021 and completed a visiting postdoctoral position at Stanford University (October 2022–March 2023) through a DAAD scholarship. His academic foundation includes a Bachelor of Arts (2014) and Master of Education (2016) in Classical Philology and Byzantinistics from Leipzig University. BA in Classical Philology and Byzantinistics (Leipzig, 2014) MA in Classical Philology and Byzantinistics (Leipzig, 2016) PhD in Latin Philology (Halle, 2021) Pulz's research spans Latin and Greek literature with emphasis on Roman love poetry, historiography, and digital philology. His monograph on Laevius (2023) examines early Latin erotic epigram, while his Sallust studies explore narratology and rhetorical devices in Bellum Catilinae . He investigates textual transmission in Greek tragedy (e.g., Phrynichus' Alcestis ) and contributes to digital classics through the Platon Digital project. His work consistently bridges traditional philological methods with computational approaches, particularly in Greek text processing. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals three dominant research threads: (1) Latin Republican literature (Sallust, Laevius, early epigram), (2) Greek textual criticism (Euripides, Phrynichus), and (3) digital humanities applications. His output demonstrates increasing interdisciplinary engagement, with recent work combining narratology, metaleptic theory, and computational linguistics. The 2019 Platon Digital contributions highlight his expertise in corpus development and variant-sensitive text analysis. Promotionsstipendium der Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes (2017, declined) Fondation Hardt Scholarship for Young Researchers (2019) DAAD Post-Doc Short-Term Scholarship (2022-2023) Pulz serves as editorial staff for Forum Classicum (2021-2022) and collaborates on digital humanities initiatives like Platon Digital. His grant history shows consistent support for early-career research, including prestigious international fellowships. While no formal advisees are documented, his role as scientific staff at Halle involves mentoring junior researchers in Latin philology. Future work appears focused on completing studies of Aprissius and expanding digital text-critical methodologies. As part of the Platon Digital team at Halle, Pulz contributes to creating gold-standard parallel corpora for Platonic paraphrases. His work intersects with computational linguistics groups developing form-accurate stopword lists for Ancient Greek, demonstrating active participation in cross-disciplinary digital classics networks.

Alfonsina Buoniconto is a Researcher in the Department of Humanities at the University of Salerno, Italy. Her academic work primarily focuses on linguistic typology, motion events encoding, and educational linguistics. She maintains regular reception hours on Wednesdays from 12:00-14:00 at the Fisciano Campus, Building D3, Third Floor, Room 015. Dr. Buoniconto's research interests center around linguistic typology, particularly the encoding of motion events in Romance languages. Her work investigates the continuum between verb-framed and satellite-framed languages, with special attention to boundary-crossing events and covert encoding strategies. Her research employs corpus-based methods, diachronic analysis, and cognitive linguistics frameworks to examine how languages express motion phenomena. She has developed the Modeg (Motion Decoding Grid) annotation tool for motion event analysis and has conducted comparative studies between English and Italian, as well as Ancient Greek and Latin. Her recent publications reveal a strong focus on motion events encoding across Romance languages, with particular attention to Italian. The research shows consistent patterns in how Romance languages handle boundary-crossing events, often displaying hybrid characteristics between verb-framed and satellite-framed typologies. Her work also extends to educational applications, particularly in teaching linguistic cohesion to improve reading comprehension among secondary school students. Dr. Buoniconto has collaborated with researchers across Italy on educational projects like LeCo (Leggere e Comprendere), which focuses on enhancing reading and text comprehension skills for high school students in Salerno and Avellino provinces. Her research bridges theoretical linguistics with practical educational applications.
