Studentischer Mitarbeiter, ZODIAC Projekt, AB Prof. Ossendrijver
I am a comparative linguist (BA) with a focus on Indo-European as well as Coptic and Arabic. In my work at the ERC project ZODIAC - Ancient Astral Science in Transformation, I assist in distilling technical astrological and astronomical vocabulary from ancient sources. I use my experience in software development and systems administration to aid the development of the ZODIAC glossary web application.
For my Bachelor's thesis with the title „Die Metrik des Mahābhārata - Eine automatische Analyse der Anuṣṭubh-Strophen“, I was awarded with the Humboldt Prize 2023.
