I am an internationally recognised expert in the application of arts and humanities insight to academic and societal challenges arising at intersection of information and communication technologies and culture. My publication record includes 23 journal articles (+ 4 further in press), 2 books, 8 papers in conference proceedings (+ 1 further in press), 7 book chapters (+ 4 further in press), 5 significant reports and 2 open datasets. Many of these are single-authored, and the rest were conceived and delivered with members of my network of 59 co-authors based across 18 countries. These publications have appeared in the most highly respected venues specific to my field of the digital humanities, including Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, Debates in the Digital Humanities and Digital Humanities Quarterly. As I do not only want my work to have an impact within this interdisciplinary field, but beyond into the disciplines that contribute to it, I also publish in computer science, information science, and science and technology studies, as well as in disciplines such as history and literary studies. I have been the PI or co-PI of 11+ large-scale funded interdisciplinary research projects including FP7 CENDARI, FP7 SPECTRESS, H2020 PARTHENOS, CHIST-ERA PROVIDEDH, H2020 KPLEX, H2020 CLS INFRA and, starting in 2023, HEu KT4D. My total grant capture amounts to ca. €12M, funds that have created (among other things) over 50 researchers" posts (15 in TCD). In the context of these projects and my other professional roles, I have also organised 11+ conferences with 1000+ participants in total. The beneficiaries of these activities, in particular my former postdocs and PhD students, have gone on to varied but exciting jobs, such as para-academic positions in the Data Services of the Royal Dutch Academy, the British Library, and the Romanian Government, as well as permanent academic posts at the University of Coventry and Ludwig Maximillian"s University in Munich. I"ve also mentored two successful ERC applicants, one of whom was a SPECTRESS project fellow who built her proposal directly out of her experience in my project. My research activities also include activities that allow me to shape debates in my field, enabling me to serve as an expert for 7 national agency funding programmes, 7 international publishers and 6 Scientific Advisory Boards. I also have given more than 40 invited and keynote lectures in the past 5 years, across 30 countries in Europe and many beyond, and have also held very significant commissions of trust. Primary among these would be the Presidency of the DARIAH-EU Research Infrastructure, and membership in the Governing Board of the European Association of Social Sciences and Humanities (EASSH). An open access champion, I was a member of the European Commission"s Open Science Policy Platform, and a majority of my publications are available open access, including the 2020 collection I edited, Digital Technologies and the Practices of Humanities Research (which has so far been accessed over 12,000 times) and my co-authored 2022 book The Trouble With Big Data, which has been viewed over 2,900 times.

Research Expertise
My current ambition is to utilise my position of leadership in the Digital Humanities to significantly progress consolidation of the emerging subfield of the critical digital humanities. I feel this is not only a compelling and appropriate research trajectory for me, but also for the disciplines of the humanities, so that we can ensure technological advancement into the future is humane and aligned with cultural values. For me, it also leverages the work of the high impact EU-funded project on culture and big data, KPLEX, which I conceptualised, convened and acquired funding for. That project"s success demonstrates how I think critical DH should operate: it generated significant scientific publications (including an article in the leading DH journal, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities and a book, The Trouble with Big Data) but also significant resonance beyond these outputs. As Coordinator, I joined both the EU"s Big Data Value Association and the Big Data PPP programme, and I was invited to present to a very wide variety of audiences about it, ranging from the high-profile lecture series of the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities through to the Annual Data Science meeting of Fidelity Investments and at Nokia Bell Labs. It also proved very attractive to the public media, and was featured on the main national radio and print channels in both Ireland (RTE, Brainstorm Blog) and Austria (ÖRF, der Standard), and was ultimately featured by Net4Society, the international network of Horizon 2020 National Contact Points for "Culture, creativity & inclusive society," as an "SSH Research Success Story." The roadmap for the next leg of this journey has already been laid with the recent funding success of the €3m project Knowledge Technologies for Democracy, or KT4D, which targeted an EC Horizon Europe call on "Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Democracy." This project will allow me to expand my work on big data into the neighbouring field of AI, and also to centre a further major problem-based project around the unique contributions in content and method that the humanities can make to these debates. The consortium brings together 11 partners, including humanities and social science researchers, SMEs, and civil society organisations and will create ground breaking paradigms for technology regulation and digital literacy, as well as inspiring innovation in harnessing advanced ICT to foster civic participation and healthy democracies. The second proposal that will potentially frame my next research steps is an April 2022 resubmission of my 2020 ERC Advanced Investigator proposal, LI4AI. In its first submission, the proposal narrowly missed being advanced to round 2 (by 1 percentile point), and received very high marks from 2 assessors (Exceptional/Exceptional/Excellent). Like the collaborative project described above, this proposal focusses on AI, but takes a much more speculative approach, driven by my interest in how we create a stronger base of theory and practice for an applied humanities. It will do this through an exploration of an era of European literary works exploring just this question, namely the social and educational novels of the 19th Century.

TitleCLS INFRASummaryComputational Literary Studies Infrastructure (CLS INFRA) is a four-year partnership to build a shared resource of high-quality data, tools and knowledge to aid new approaches to studying literature in the digital age. The digital age offers challenges and opportunities for completing research on Europe's multilingual and interconnected literary heritage. At present, the landscape of literary data, methods, and tools is diverse and fragmented. Even though many resources are currently available in digital libraries, a lack of standardisation hinders their access and reuse. The European Commission-funded CLS INFRA project will help to build the shared and sustainable infrastructure needed to undertake literary studies in the digital age. The project will align these diverse resources with each other, with the tools needed to interrogate them, and with a widened base of users. The resulting improvements will benefit researchers by bridging gaps between greater and lesser-resourced communities in computational literary studies and beyond, ultimately offering opportunities to create new research and insight into our shared and varied European cultural heritage.Funding AgencyEuropean CommissionDate From01.07.2021Date To28.01.2025
