👋 Hi! I'm a researcher at the Meertens Instituut in Amsterdam. My research focuses on why some cultural phenomena are adopted and persist through time, while others change or disappear (why, for example, did Python's f-string syntax take over from the str.format syntax? 😉). Additionally, I'm interested in measuring cultural diversity and compositional complexity, and how we can account for biases in our estimations of diversity. (check out our recent publication on estimating the amount of lost books in Science).

🔭 I mostly program in Python, and I also like to teach a bit about programming. Together with Mike Kestemont and Allen Riddell, I recently published a 📖 with Princeton University Press about using Python for Humanities data analysis. An open access version of the book can be found at https://www.humanitiesdataanalysis.org
