Short CV/Education and training

  • I studied social and economic history and wrote a masters thesis on poverty and poor relief.

  • I obtained my phd degree in 1999.

  • In 2002 I was awarded the 'Keetje Hodshon award' from the 'Hollandsche Maatschappij van Wetenschappen' for my total oeuvre and especially for my thesis on reading culture.

  • In 2004 the Dutch Organisation for Scientific Research awarded me the Innovational Research grant, thus enabling me to start my own research group on the topic of 19th century news media. During this project I developed text mining approaches to investigate media content, working together with IBM/SPSS as well as using open source text mining applications.

  • Nowadays I am a senior researcher and ICT consultant and work in a new E-Humanities project on the US as a reference culture.
