I am an head, editor and developer at the Dictionary of Old Norse Prose. Previously I held a Marie Curie fellowship at the University of Copenhagen working on a new dictionary of the language of Old Norse poetry (Lexicon Poeticum). I was previously Senior Lecturer in Early Scandinavian Studies at the University of Aberdeen. I teach and research the language, literature and history of Viking and medieval Scandinavia.
