He holds degrees from the University of Vienna (B.A.), Humboldt University of Berlin (M.A.), and the University of Cambridge (Ph.D.).

His research focuses on Greek literature from the imperial period and late antiquity (2nd–6th centuries C.E.). Key projects include a monograph on Heliodorus’ Aethiopica, exploring narrative perspectives and ancient reading communities (Platonists, rhetoricians, Christians), and co-editing Imperial Allegory: Reading Across Cultural and Medial Divides.
