Digital & Humanities
The Chymistry of Isaac Newton
I am a historian of science at IU Bloomington, where I decipher and edit unpublished manuscripts in the Chymistry of Isaac Newton project, documenting the alchemical work of the famous scientist.
My work ranges from deciphering Newton's handwriting to translating passages in Latin and Hebrew into English. Additionally, my team and I conduct X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis to determine the elemental composition of inks, paper, and the detection of watermarks in Newton's manuscripts.
The project is funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
PIs: William Newman, Caterina Agostini, William Cowan, Michelle Dalmau, Wally Hooper, James Voelkel, and John Walsh.
The Harriot Papers
At the University of Notre Dame, at the Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship, the John J. Reilly Center for Science, Technology and Values, and the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society, I am conducting research, consulting on projects in the humanities and computational methods, and I also teach undergraduate and graduate courses and workshops.
I am a project team member for The Harriot Papers, a project documenting the work of early modern polymath, Thomas Harriot. The outcomes will include a digital and a print edition, as well as educational and outreach events in the US and UK. Research team members are based at The University of Notre Dame, the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and the Cambridge University Library, and the project is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

The Edison Papers
At Rutgers University, I developed two main lines of inquiry:
1. Reading room environments
See my presentation at the 2022 Digital Humanities Conference and Colloquium (University of Victoria, British Columbia, online)
2. An integrated digital edition across the printed edition, Project Muse, the online repository of Johns Hopkins University Press, the Omeka-S website hosting the digital edition, the Internet Archive, and HathiTrust Digital Library

"ISHR was the first academic center in the world to be founded on an interdisciplinary commitment to the study of human rights. This remains one of ISHR's most distinctive features. We recognize that on a fundamental level, human rights research must transcend traditional academic boundaries, departments, and disciplines, reaching out to the practitioners’ world in the process, to address the ever-increasing complexities of human rights in a globalized world"

Across Time: Classical, Renaissance, and Modern
While Galileo is the main author I study in my research, I am aware that no author stands alone in history or literature. And I do not stand alone either, as a reader and scholar. How Primo Levi and Italo Calvino expressed admiration for Pliny the Elder and Galileo is inspiring, and that reading of earlier authors by post-World War II authors motivated me, in turn, to look deeper for the Baroque and scientific fascination found in texts that twentieth-century authors wrote. Thus, I have investigated cultural connections and textual layers built on encyclopedic knowledge tracing back to Pliny the Elder in the first century CE – an author that both Levi and Calvino read extensively, and back to Galileo, a scientist and writer that changed how science is narrated and expressed in the Florentine vernacular, and later in Italian.

Translations
Translating a text reveals features in the original language and in the target language as well. I agree on this, and have gained valuable experience translating Renaissance and twentieth-century books.
A collaborative translation of Goro Dati’s La Sfera, a fifteenth-century schoolbook on geography, astronomy, and navigation. The illuminated manuscript preserves the text in the Italian vernacular, maps, illustrations, and diagrams (Bibliothèque nationale de France, Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, Ms-8536), preceded by Ptolemy's Cosmographia (Geography), an influential book and atlas dating back to the second century CE.
A collaboration with Caterina Agostini (University of Notre Dame), Carrie Beneš (New College of Florida), Elena Brizio (Georgetown University), Laura Ingallinella (Wellesley College), Monica Keane (Independent researcher), and Laura Morreale (Georgetown University).

La Sfera (The Globe): A Collaborative Digital Edition
Digital editions benefit from collaboration, as well as multilingual expertise in many disciplines in the humanities.
WHO: over 80 scholars of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and early modern period, ranging from history and Italian studies, to art history and material book history.
WHAT: Goro Dati, La Sfera, a fifteenth-century geographic treatise in Italian, namely the Florentine vernacular.
We transcribed eight manuscripts.
We have been translating the text into English for the first time.
We have been mapping the book locations and comparing them to Renaissance portolan charts, through ArcGIS.
WHEN: May 2020-to date.
WHERE: online, with scholars joining from 10 different time zones! We welcome scholars from all careers, and appreciate the participation of early career researchers and graduate students.
Presentations have been ongoing at the 2021-2022 Renaissance Society of America, The 2021 Marco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, and the 2022 New College Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
WHY: the book did not have an edition drawing on eight manuscripts, a digital edition, or an English translation. So that others may benefit from the work done, the transcriptions, images, and webpages, and other related scholarly products issuing from these challenges have been catalogued in BodoArxiv, and digital projects, hosted by Stanford University, will be forthcoming.
HOW: through digital resources and tools, such as IIIF images of manuscripts housed at world-class research libraries, FromThePage, and WordPress.
Communication has been lively on Twitter, by following the hashtags #LaSferaChallenge and #LaSferaChallenge2.
Funding and support for the project from the IIIF Consortium, FromThePage, and Stanford Libraries.

Other Research Projects
In my work as the Thomas A. Edison Papers Postdoctoral Associate, I identified, selected, and implemented digital tools that can enhance the usability of the project’s digital book and image editions. To make its metadata more accessible, and better integrate its editions, we use open-access PDF and EPUB3 formats on Project Muse at Johns Hopkins University Press, and an image edition of more than 154,000 documents on an Omeka-S platform. In addition, part of the image edition published originally as microfilm is mounted on the Internet Archive as PDFs of the microfilm reels. My contributions also include exploring tools such as the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF), linked open data, data visualizations, manual and automated downloads of its data and metadata, and how we might link to related open-access materials in online repositories. I offer workshops and lectures to the larger DH community at Rutgers (2021-2022)
As the recipient of the D’Argenio Fellowships in History and Data Visualization, I conducted historical research and created a data visualization based on my historical analysis of the Ron D’Argenio Collection of Coins and Antiquities at Seton Hall University (2021-2022)
I have been working on a book manuscript expanding my doctoral dissertation research
I have been designing and mapping visualizations of Galileo's letters on astronomy, and my findings are forthcoming in a chapter with The University of Chicago Press
I am developing "Gendered Epidemics" for a digital exhibition and edition of primary sources documenting the 1629-1631 plague in Venice
