My current research project is De Vita Moysis by Gregory of Nyssa. My research focuses on the mystery of the human encounter with God, especially human love for God and God's love for humanity. My particular areas of focus are the paradigm of mystical ascent, especially the ascent of Moses to mount Sinai as it is described in the Patristic tradition, pneumatology, asceticism, covenantal and 'conjugal' aspects of the divine-human relationship, the process of human growing "to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Eph 4:13). My early research interests include the history of Novgorod as the principal city of Byzantine religious (not political) conquest which served as a background to the widespread influence of art and ecclesiastical culture. I used to have a particular interest in the fifteenth-century manuscripts of archbishop Evfimij II in the ecclesiastical reforms of the Novgorod bishops and the semantics of bishop's clothing in the fourteenth century.
I hold a summa cum laude PhD from the University of Zurich, an MTh in Systematic Theology and an MTh in Theology and Religious Studies from the University of Aberdeen.
