Mariia obtained her MA degree in Classical Philology, Literary Studies, and English from Kharkiv National University, completing a thesis in the field of classical reception studies that focused on mythopoesis in postmodern literature, specifically examining the writings of W. S. Burroughs. Her research interests include literary theory and history, reception of Ancient Greek and Latin literature in 19th to 21st-century literature, and Greek and Latin Palaeography. 

Mariia further refined her translation skills and research competences during her time as a research assistant in the project “Caelestis Hierusalem Cives. The Role and Function of the Latin Hagiographic Epic in Early Modern Saint-Making” at the University of Innsbruck. In this role, she translated and footnoted the Neo-Latin hagiographical epic poem “Josaphatidos Libri Tres” by Jozafat Isakowicz (1628), studying how antique epic traditions were repurposed in early modern hagiographic epic poetry as well as the political and social implications underneath the process. 

In 2023, Mariia became a member of the LAGOOS team as a PhD candidate and research assistant, captivated by the opportunity to gain expertise in the history of Classics and 19th-century academic life in related fields, as well as to enhance her command of Greek palaeography. Within the project, she is responsible for creating the regesta of Hase’s diaries and investigating the ways in which his works and intellectual legacy were received and influenced subsequent scholarly thought.
