PhD Thesis
Quantifying Scribal Behavior: A Novel Approach to Digital Paleography
https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/handle/10023/9429
o PhD research was focussed on developing innovative methods & metrics to perform digital palaeographic analyses. This includes creation of a digital paleographic software in Python that is capable of digitizing paleographic characters and creating script repositories in order to automatically analyze them for scribal features.
o Research interests: Digital Paleography, Digital Humanities, Natural Language Processing, Handwriting analysis, HCI
