Research

I maintain infrastructure for digital humanities collections and study how scholars search image archives. My current work measures whether visual embeddings retrieve what art historians consider relevant.

Before CS research

I worked as a systems administrator for museum databases for eight years before joining a research group.

Current fields

• Digital humanities
• Computer vision

Other fields

• Systems administration
• Art history

The value of these perspectives

Operational experience with museum catalogues helps me understand the metadata traditions that embeddings quietly inherit.
