He leads the OIKOS Research Group on Ancient Rhetoric and Aesthetics, coordinates the Rhetoric Minor, and chairs the LUCAS Advisory Board.
His research has been funded by NWO's Veni and Vidi grants. He actively engages with public discourse, analyzing ancient texts' relevance to modern rhetoric through media commentary on topics like Herculaneum papyri and political speech patterns.
