Christos Terzis

Christos Terzis is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Research Group 'Ancient Music' at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, maintaining dual institutional ties with Athens, Greece through the Academy's branch office.

His research integrates philological rigor with digital innovation across interconnected domains: Ancient Greek music theory (harmonics and acoustics), reconstruction of musical instruments and notation systems, Greek paleography, and textual philology. He pioneers methodologies in Digital Humanities for scholarly editions while advancing reconstructions of ancient Greek language pronunciation and vocal practices.

Terzis currently directs two major initiatives: the DiAGRAM project (Digitizing Aspects of Graphical Representation in Ancient Music) and the Documentation and Interpretation of Dion's Organ, merging computational approaches with material culture studies to decode ancient musical heritage.
