Ekaterina Dikova is a philologist working on medieval Slavonic translations from Byzantine Greek. She studied Bulgarian and Russian Philology at Sofia University, Medieval Studies at the Central European University in Budapest, and Translation Studies at the University of Warwick. She received her PhD from Sofia University and her habilitation from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, where she is Associate Professor at the Institute of Balkan Studies. Her research focuses on the specifics of medieval Greek-Slavonic translation, rhetorical texts and poetry, Greek-Slavonic lexicography, and digital approaches to textual traditions.

Since July 2024 she has worked at the University of Innsbruck in the project The Slavonic Metaphrasis of Byzantine Orthodoxy, first at the Department of Slavonic Studies and, since October 2026, at the Department of Classical Philology and Neo-Latin Studies. She conceived and developed REGEST, the Reference Tool for Medieval Greek-Slavonic Translations, and initiated a pilot corpus of annotated Greek-Slavonic parallel texts. The corpus began with her parallel edition of the Byzantine Verses on the Twelve Months and their two South Slavonic versions, which adapts Fabio Maion’s approach to automated morphological annotation and search and extends its lemmatisation into full glossaries; the corpus includes his bilingual editions of the Dioptra and the Manasses Chronicle.
