    Current and previous research projects

    I am an assistant professor in Computational Humanities.

    My main research interest is in developing research methods where digital tools and statistical methods from the field of artificial intelligence are applied to study research questions in the humanities quantitatively, including qualitative human evaluation of these new methods. Using such computational methods, I have mainly worked on questions in linguistics and the history of ideas.

    To get an impression of what specific things I have worked on, have a look at my Publications tab!

     

    Postdoc project: Ideas at Scale - Towards a Computational History of Ideas (e-Ideas)

    PI: prof. dr. Arianna Betti

    More information: e-Ideas project website

    Jan 2018 - Dec 2021

    PhD Project: Learner modelling and language contact in syntax

    Word order in verbal clusters in the Dutch-Frisian continuum

    More information: Processing verb clusters - LOT dissertation 586

    May 2013 - Jan 2018
