Research Areas
Computational Linguistics
Advances linguistics (a core humanities discipline) through AI-powered analysis of language structure, evolution, and meaning.
AI for Language Neuroscience
Bridges humanities (language, cognition, philosophy of mind) with empirical neuroscience. Advances our understanding of the human "language faculty."
Digital Humanities
Directly advances history, literature, philosophy, and arts through AI tools (digitization, text mining, spatial analysis, cultural analytics).
AI in Education and Communication
Advances humanities pedagogy (how we teach humanities) and media studies (how humanities content is communicated and received in AI-mediated environments).
AI Culture and Ethics
Advances critical reflection on AI itself as a cultural and historical phenomenon. Ensures the humanities "talks back" to technology.
