I am an assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam, a visiting researcher at The Alan Turing Institute (UK) and at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University (NL).
My work focuses on using data to study cultural and social phenomena, including the human past, art markets, science communication and Wikipedia. I support the open and free access to knowledge, for people and machines alike.
