Research Interests

My main area of research is computational linguistics. My submitted PhD thesis focuses on the linguistic variation in early modern English dramatic genres.

I am interested in how computational and corpus methodologies can be applied to literary (and especially historical) texts. In particular, my research focuses on the robustness/replicability of these digital methods, how these methodologies may aid our understanding of how language varies in texts, and how the methods may be implemented across different software.
