... to my personal homepage. On this site you
will find information concerning me and my work.
I am an art historian at the BarabásiLab Boston. My current research focuses on complex networks in art history and archaeology. It is is funded by German Research Foundation (DFG) and extends from over a decade of professional consulting experience with proto-semantic-web network databases and my Ph.D. dealing with two particular subnetworks, reception and imlicit visual citation, i.e. the equivalent of analogy and homology in zoology.
The current studies practically combine art historical expertise with the science of complex networks and will contribute to the emerging field of web science. The quantitative as well as qualitative challenge is to extract complex structure and dynamics emerging from local user activity and data model definition in large datasets.
So far I have delivered a number of proofs of concept for some well known research as well as library databases in close collaboration with the network scientists at the BarabasiLab and the respective producers of the datasets, Bibliotheca Hertziana (Max-Planck-Institute for Art history), the CENSUS and Projekt Dyabola.
I have presented the results in a number of articles, talks and posters, two of them award winning, another one sparking an awesome review. My Ph.D. just came out in the form of a printed book as well as an open access pdf. Further articles are coming up.
Besides all that, I am an expert in roman topography and the history of representational media. I like to travel, usually shoot more pictures on a trip than the number of kilometers spanning the distance, go great lengths for a culinary experience and I love to ski.
I would be happy to collaborate within my project. Please see the contact page for various ways to reach me. |
