Short presentation
I am a scholar working with topics related to digital humanities and socio-linguistics, as well as interdisciplinary didactics and occupational communication. My research examines benefits garnered from combining disparate data sources--such as spoken/acoustical and perceptual/attitudinal language data; or genetic, archaeological, and linguistic datasets--using statistical learning. My background includes classics, general linguistics, socio-phonetics, and English language didactics.
Research
My research brings together digital humanities, socio-cognitive linguistics, and corpus research to study how complex, multimodal, and mixed-type datasets can be used to explore linguistic, cultural, and historical processes. I use statistical and machine-learning methods to analyze data ranging from perceptual and acoustic linguistic records to historical documents and digital cultural-heritage sources. A central focus of my work is the development and critical assessment of digital infrastructures and data practices for interdisciplinary scholarship across the humanities and social sciences. This includes collaborations in historical psychology, digital didactics, and computational methods for cultural and linguistic research. Projects I have collaborated on include sociolinguistic and computational research on the project "Historical Psychology: Religion, Family Structure and the Origins of Individual Freedom and Economic Prosperity."
