In my PhD research (published by De Gruyter in the series Arbeiten zur neutestamentlichen Textforschung), I wrote the scholarly history of Codex Vaticanus in New Testament textual criticism, tracing and describing changes, developments, and reception of the perception of the manuscript between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries. This work received recognition from international peers, including being granted the prestigious Lautenschläger Award 2025.
Several of my articles also illustrate how I approach texts, manuscripts, and perceptions among scholars from a historical point of view. In addition, I am interested in the interactions between texts and contexts, migration studies and their application to theology, Bible translation and missiology, as well as hermeneutics. These have been performed in my teaching and some of my more recent presentations and publications.
Currently, I am working on an interdisciplinary research project exploring the intersections between technology and manuscripts in the nineteenth century. A foretaste is to be realised by my research stay at Universität Rostock, Germany, as a 2026 Mare Balticum Fellow.
Actively involved in the scholarly community, I am a member of the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas (SNTS), the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL), the European Association of Biblical Studies (EABS), and the Netherlands School for Advanced Studies in Theology and Religion (NOSTER). I also serve as an associate editor for two international journals: TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism (SBL) and Yearbook of Contextual Biblical Interpretation (AUP). Both are Open Access, leading journals in their fields.
