Areas of responsibility
My research and my teaching are based on interdisciplinary approaches to history as a discipline and to historical evolution as a phenomenon. My interests lie in historical consciousness, the coinherence of historical times, modeling history, the use of AI in studying and teaching history, the use of games to study the past, and the study of innovation as a mode of historical existence and evolution.
I have given courses in Historical consciousness; Historical theory and method (including digital history); Understanding historical time and the use of history; Games and gaming as historical sources; Ancient Greek history; Byzantine history and culture; Relationships between Byzantium and Scandinavia. I have used various methods and strateghies of teaching, including flipped classroom and the use of LLMs to improve student performance in classrooms and the exams. I have also used various types of examination, including individualized exams.
My current research focuses on: (a) Historical consciousness; (b) The multi-dimensionality of historical time; (c) Use of modeling and simulation modeling in studying and teaching history (including AI-assisted modeling); (d) Studying innovation as a historical phenomenon by employing theories on historical temporalities and studying historical development in terms of innovation.
