- Specializes in Republican Roman poetry
- Editor of the upcoming Oxford Handbook of Ennius

- Active research on Ennius and Homer, and Athenian Tragedy's reception in Roman literature
His publications span topics such as Lucretius' didactic elements in Vergil's Aeneid, Empedocles' influence in De Rerum Natura, and allusive techniques in Roman poetry. He engages deeply with intertextuality and poetic metaphor studies, particularly in Epicurean and Hellenistic contexts.
