Dr. Londa holds the position of Assistant Professor of Latin (Wissenschaftlicher Assistent am Lehrstuhl für Latinistik) in the Institute for Classical Languages and Literatures of the Philipps-Universität Marburg. From 2023 to 2025, he was Loeb Classical Library Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Classics at the Johns Hopkins University. He completed his PhD in Classics from Yale University (2023) and was in residence at the University of Graz as a Fulbright Award winner (2022–23). He earned his MA from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin with the support of a DAAD Award and his BA from Harvard University.

His current book project, Authors and Others: Paraliterary Labor in the Ancient Roman World, grapples with the centrality of a marginalized workforce to the production, circulation, and performance of literary texts in Roman Italy during the first centuries BCE and CE. The book takes as its protagonists the secretaries, copyists, lectors, teachers, and scholars who catalyzed the literary activity of elite Roman authors and readers. It asks how the hidden presence of these workers “in the room” shapes the texts and ideas that come out of it. 

Recent publications include his essay on “Letters” for the 2025 volume Writing, Enslavement, and Power in the Roman Mediterranean, 100 BCE–300 CE (ed. Coogan, Howley, Moss) and his forthcoming article on “Achates in the Roman Literary Imagination: An Enslaving Fiction in Vergil’s Aeneid” in Classical Antiquity.
