Mae fy mhrif ffocws reseach yn ymwneud â chysyniadau canoloesol a modern cynnar o'r goruwchnaturiol. Archwiliodd fy monograff cyntaf , Supernatural Encounters: Demons and the Restless Dead in Medeival England, c.1050-1450 (Routledge, 2020), y ffyrdd y deallwyd a mynegwyd syniadau anghyson am fwriad ac asiantaeth cyrff cerdded ('dialwyr') mewn gwahanol gyd-destunau cymdeithasol a llenyddol.
Mae'r gwaith hwn yn bwydo i mewn i'm diddordebau parhaus yn y berthynas rhwng cred feddygol a goruwchnaturiol yn y byd canoloesol, yn benodol mynegiadau llenyddol o'r profiad hunllefus (parlys cwsg) ac etioleg contagion. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd mewn damcaniaeth ryngddisgyblaethol a'r berthynas rhwng 'testunau' ysgrifenedig a materol, yn benodol sut y gellir defnyddio'r dystiolaeth lenyddol ar gyfer cred goruwchnaturiol i lywio ein dealltwriaeth o ddata archeolegol amwys.
