Current Position
Research Associate, Sanskrit Manuscripts project
Biographical Details
After a Ph.D. in Classical South Asian Studies from the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, in which I focused on Abhinavagupta’s commentary on the Nāṭyaśāstra, the seminal text of the Sanskrit dramaturgical tradition, I worked as Research Associate (Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) in the Nyāya Project at the University of Vienna.
Research Interests
My main areas of research are poetry and aesthetics (kāvya, alaṃkāraśāstra and nāṭyaśāstra), Logic (nyāya) as well as Indian Philosophy as a whole, the classical juridical tradition (dharmaśāstra) and the tantric studies. Recently, I have also developed an interest in Classical Tamil and its cultural tradition, specifically regarding its interactions with the Sanskritic milieu.
