Hello, it's me!

‘He has got no good red blood in his body,’ said Sir James.

‘No, somebody put a drop under a magnifying-glass, and it was all semicolons and parentheses,’ said Mrs Cadwallader.

About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in Information Science and Digital Humanities at the Centre for Language and Cognition (CLCG) of the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (Netherlands). I teach in the Bachelor and Master Degree Programme Information Science, and in the Master Digital Humanities. My research is focussed on Computational Folkloristics and Digital Mythological Studies. To find out which stories people tell and how they tell them, I model and analyze narratives using NLP and Semantic Web technologies. I am passionate about teaching and supervision, and strongly support the Open Science movement. I hold a Doctorate Degree in Computer Science from the University of Göttingen, Germany.
