In progress: I am currently writing a dissertation on vocal practice and aesthetics in opera between 1825 and 1850.
Recent: I presented a paper entitled "Lethal Timbres and Exploding Tenors: Reconstructing a Change in Operatic Vocal Technique, 1830–1848" at the 2024 meeting of the American Musicological Society in Chicago.
Future plans: Short projects on Cosima Wagner's vocal aesthetics and the teaching practice of Charles-Amable Battaille; planning a longer exploration of form and time-perception in early 19th century opera.

Side projects: Periodically I translate opera for performance. Two of my short translations, both of numbers from Die lustige Witwe, were heard at Duke Opera Theater's performance in November 2022; I continue to revise a translation of the full operetta. I also gave a voice recital in October 2022, a lecture-recital in October 2024, and am planning another recital in April 2025.
