Biography

I am a Research Fellow in the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing (ITSEE). After gaining my doctorate in 2006, my first appointment was as a Research Fellow at Birmingham working on the Codex Sinaiticus Digitisation Project.  Following this, I spent a year at the British Library as a content specialist for the Codex Sinaiticus Project.  I then returned to Birmingham to work on the Gospel of John for the Editio Critica Maior.

 Since then, I have been involved in several Greek New Testament projects based at ITSEE, Birmingham.  These include the Gospel of John Patristic Citation database, COMPAUL, Codex Zacynthius and CATENA. I collaborate with other institutions: KU Leuven for the Odysseus 1 Corinthians project; Shepherds Theological Seminary and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary for the MOTB Greek Paul Project.  I am currently working on the Epistles of Paul for the Editio Critica Maior and I support volunteer transcribers for the International Greek New Testament Project around the world.
