I am an historian of late medieval and early modern Europe, specifically England. My work focuses on two avenues - the history of sense perception and sensory culture in religious life, and how they intersect with natural philosophy, medical, and lived experience. And second, digital history, where I build research platforms for historical research with a focus on linked open data, and modelling of historical events / actions using network theories. I am currently prototyping a tool - www.nanohistory.org - that permits historical scholars to trace small narrative fragments, allowing them to build large complex data-driven representations of historical phenomena that bind traditional archival methods with computational techniques and tools.
