Working group: Digital Humanities
Calvin has been a core member of the MPIWG since 2017, contributing to the design and development of interdisciplinary digital tools for historians of science. He has played a leading technical role in projects including LoGaRT, Books in China, CHMap, and Music in Tombs, working at the intersection of scholarship and software architecture.
His work focuses on building user-centered research platforms that integrate textual, visual, and geospatial data. He has developed full-text search systems, image and text annotation environments, and interactive data visualizations tailored to scholarly workflows. Committed to iterative and collaborative development, he works closely with researchers to ensure that digital tools meaningfully support humanistic inquiry.
With experience spanning both academia and industry—including leadership roles in software development—Calvin brings an agile, practical, and innovation-driven approach to research collaboration. He is particularly interested in the application of artificial intelligence and large language models in the humanities, and he regularly shares his work through international talks and hands-on workshops.
