If you are interested in digital humanities, have a look at arts-humanities.net, the project I develop for CeRch.
Read my wine blog, the Wine Rambler.
My main research interests are digital humanities; the development of (digital) infrastructure for research; virtual communities; and early modern English history - especially media history, national identity and everything relating to maritime history.
Before joining the Centre for e-Research, I was the Senior Research Project Co-ordinator for the AHRC ICT Methods Network, based at the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) - both centres are based at King's College London.
In previous roles, I worked as the web co-ordinator for (LMU), the University of Munich, and as an ICT project co-ordinator and research associate for LMU's history department. While my main focus back then was on the Server Early Modern History (sfn), I co-founded historicum.net, a web portal and platform for humanities e-publications. Previously, I worked for the Digitization Centre of the Bavarian State Library (BSB) and as an IT consultant and researcher for a publishing house and a major software company.
I have an M.A. in history and philosophy and a Ph.D. in history from LMU. My research on early modern English national identity and its relation to the sea was funded by the German Academic Exchange Service and the German National Merit Foundation.
