Bio
I am a Ph.D. student in English and Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, studying British literature and culture in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. My research traces contemporary use of generative machine learning technologies back to the eighteenth century, arguing that adaptation of literary texts drives notions of selfhood. I also work on bibliographic studies, the history of the book, computational literary studies, and digital humanities. I am also the Project Manager of the William Blake Archive,
