Michael Mac-Osker is a papyrologist at University College London, known for his groundbreaking work in deciphering ancient texts, particularly those from the Herculaneum scrolls, which were carbonized during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. His recent research has involved the use of advanced technologies, such as X-ray tomography and neural networks, to read and analyze these fragile artifacts. Mac-Osker played a key role in the discovery of significant content within a newly scanned scroll, which has provided insights into the writings of the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus.
