Research
My research explores how computational methods can support the extraction and use of multimodal information in art historical collections. I am particularly interested in making these tools accessible to users without technical backgrounds and those with different access needs.
Current Projects
Uncovering Black Lives

OngoingWhat if you could search a painting collection by what's depicted in it, not just what's been catalogued? This project uses an augmented vision-language model to retrieve blue-and-white ceramic motifs across Rijksmuseum paintings.
