Beyond Murdock: Moving Fast Enough to Matter, Carefully Enough to Count
Source code must survive before it can be used as a historical source, yet code has not traditionally been treated as something worth preserving. In practice, it runs, gets overwritten, deleted, lost to hardware failures, or simply neglected. That is why the question of whether code deserves preservation is not purely technical: it is historical and political, as is the question of who bears responsibility for ensuring that preservation.
From Rabat to Reliable AI : Rethinking Retrieval Augmented Generation Evaluation
At EACL 2026 in Rabat, Morocco, presenting RAGVUE became more than a conference milestone. It was a journey through research conversations, culture, and one central question that matters across research domains: How can we trust LLM-generated answers?

The Lesvos Summer School, 2025
Born out of a previous brainstorm meeting at the Metochi Study Centre in 2024, the summer school’s key goal was for the participating PhD candidates to collaborate on a joint project: The Lesvos Time Machine. Inspired by the European Time Machine initiative and the Luxembourg Time Machine project, this time machine project sought to promote team-building and interactional expertise.
A Research Stay at Home
This spring I’ve had the opportunity to go on a research stay to the University of Sydney in Australia. What started as a simple email to an archaeologist who works on Pacific island archaeology, because of my interest in one of his books, turned into the idea that we could collaborate and share research methodologies while also presenting my work to a new audience and talk with students hoping to study abroad, all while being able to visit home for the first time since 2022.
Economic History and Political Economy at the Bolzano Applied Microeconomics Workshop
Does living under an authoritarian government increase aversion to state intervention in the economy and social affairs? This is the question I tried to answer in my research, which I had the opportunity to present at the Free University of Bolzano.
Doing Digital History, from Luxembourg to New York
What are the challenges of born-digital data for historical research and archival sciences? How to deal with digital memory technologies like SIM cards as material evidence of the digital age? How to decolonize archival meta-data and descriptions when translating analogue collections into digital repositories?
