He coordinates numerous international research and development projects funded, among others, by the EU, Science Foundation Ireland and Enterprise Ireland.

Meanwhile, there is a fair amount of digitalised data available in the humanities, but these data have a number of issues: they are neither consistent nor integrated. Their quality varies greatly. My goal is to make big data workable for the humanities. In the Neoclassica project, for example, we are developing new tools for researchers in art history and the humanities. Artificial intelligence could turn up entirely new contexts and relationships.
