  • Computational text analysis, NLP for historical corpora, stylometry
  • Linked Open Data, ontologies and semantic enrichment for humanities resources
  • Machine learning for image, audio, and multimodal cultural analysis
  • 3D reconstruction, photogrammetry and virtual repatriation
  • Interactive exhibitions, museum UX and digital storytelling
  • XR, immersive heritage experiences and accessibility in digital exhibitions
  • Digital pedagogy, learning analytics and open educational resources
