• As a librarian I provide digital and traditional information literacy, teach tutorials on digital scholarship, provide rare book cataloging and bibliography for all fields of our interdisciplinary library on Renaissance Studies.
• As a scholar I am researching the intersection between Renaissance Art and Intellectual History. My newest monograph is entitled "The Intellectual Education of the Italian Renaissance Artist" (Cambridge University Press, 2021). In the field of Digital Humanities I study the field of Data Science and Data Mining for Cultural Heritage Data. 
• As a teacher I give classes and workshops on Medieval and Early Modern Art History, Digital Humanities, and the History of the Book.
