About Me

I am interested in combining Celtic Studies and computer technologies, thus advancing Celtic Studies and Linguistics: I have considerable knowledge in this area. I have taught Latin at undergraduate level. In addition, I have mentored Humanities students and colleagues in advanced and unfamiliar technologies, including programming languages, enhancing their capabilities and simplifying their research.
