I'm especially excited to share one of my latest contributions, co-authored once again with the brilliant A. Sangiacomo.

"The Debate on Electricity in the Eighteenth Century: A Multilayered Digital Perspective." Perspectives on Science (MIT Press, 2025). shorturl.at/A0vZr

It is part of a broader conversation on how digital methods and digital media shape what we see — and what we might miss.

The piece explores how computational analysis can help uncover new dimensions in early modern scientific texts, while also reflecting on the challenges of computational approaches in the history of science.

Really happy to share my latest article, co-authored with Andrea Sangiacomo (University of Groningen), "Computational Rifts: Parsing the Context of Early Modern Natural Philosophy," just out in Science in Context (Cambridge University Press). Available open access at shorturl.at/WvuVZ
