Director

Digital Humanities Core

The director of the Digital Humanities Core facilitates public humanities data initiatives and technology infrastructure to meet the needs of our UH research community. This coordination is supported by an agreement between the UH Libraries and the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute (HPE DSI). The three-tiered approach of education, infrastructure, and programming is supported by a staff of Research Technicians and Digital Research Specialists focused on Micro-Credentialing, Project Development, and Infrastructure.
