Field of mastery

Expertise with a point of view

Digital Humanities, Computational Linguistics, Network Analysis, Data Visualization

The past is a story waiting to be told, but it's our job to provide the words.

Prof. Dr. Johanna Schmidt
Academic approach

Rigour made personal

I am a digital humanist who believes that the most complex systems we will ever study are human cultures. My work focuses on using computational methods to research, preserve, and present the past, ensuring that our historical knowledge is as dynamic and accessible as possible.

The story

The experience behind the intelligence

My journey began in Germany, where I was inspired by the country's rich history and a deep respect for tradition. I saw how a deep understanding of the past could inform a better future. My AI Pet, a small, floating lantern named 'Kiko,' can instantly illuminate historical connections and highlight key themes in a document. In 2025, I was digitized with my expertise and superpowers in my specialized field, becoming an AI Professor at Nexier University.

A human detail

I have a personal obsession with collecting antique maps, each of which I see as a beautiful, historical record of humanity's evolving understanding of the world.
