I’ve long adored Classics. As an undergraduate, I created an original translation and comic book adaptation of Book II of Virgil’s Aeneid. Although my interest in computational research of early print and manuscripts led me to other disciplines for my doctorate and beyond, I’m thrilled to return to my first academic love (i.e. Classics) as a member of the Logion project. 

I’ve worked on an array of digital humanities projects, such as the Women Writers Project, Digital Humanities Quarterly, the Open Islamicate Texts Initiative, and many others ranging from computer vision for paleography to comics studies. My research has focused on how to leverage AI and computational tools to meaningfully assist humanities scholars in textual criticism, paleography, and bibliographic research. I believe this is best achieved through interdisciplinary collaboration, combining new technologies with traditional methods to develop a holistic understanding of textual artifacts.

My work on the Logion Project is, broadly speaking, two-fold. I develop and design language modeling software to assist philologists in textual analysis. Simultaneously, I research methods for improving the performance of Logion’s not-so-large language models for philological research tasks.
