Current research

My current research revolves around a digital exploration of the Modern Breakthrough in Scandinavia in an interdisciplinary framework between literature, language and computer science. This involves the development of statistical and computational methods for text reading and, not least, a discussion of their relevance and scope.

I am currently involved in the following research projects

• PI – Measuring Modernity (2020-24, funding: The Carlsberg Foundation) https://nors.ku.dk/english/research/projects/measuring-modernity/
• Co-PI (w. Daniel Herschcovich, DiKu) – Mining the Meaning (2022-25, funding: The Data+ Initiative) https://mime-memo.github.io/
