About Me

I work as a lecturer in Modern European History at the University of Manchester. After completing my PhD in history at the University of Cambridge in 2021, I held an Andrew W. Mellon fellowship at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and a post-doctoral scholarship at the German Historical Institute in Rome. These fellowships have allowed me to develop my doctoral research on the European art market during the First World War into a book manuscript. My PhD and my postgraduate studies in the UK were funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), the German National Merit Foundation (Studienstiftung), and the Joint Centre for History and Economics (Harvard University and Magdalene College, Cambridge). Prior to pursuing my doctorate, I gained an MSc in Economic and Social History from the University of Oxford and an MLitt in Art History from the University of Glasgow.
