I am a historian of science and technology working on the politics and provenance of data and machines in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. My work combines traditional close-reading and archival study with computational techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2025 I work<\/a> at UCL in the Department of Information Studies, where I am a member of the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities. My research includes an ongoing collaboration with the University of Cambridge Digital Library, where I am developing a project on Humphrey Jennings and his Pandaemonium<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an Associate<\/a> of Cambridge Digital Humanities and continue to be affiliated to the Department of History and Philosophy of Science<\/a> where I occasionally teach and examine. I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Science & Technology Studies at UCL and also at the Digital Humanities Hub at the School of Advanced Study in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was previously a Senior History Research Associate on the Living with Machines<\/a> project (led by Ruth Ahnert), which was a collaboration between The Alan Turing Institute and The British Library. I have also done things like work at CRASSH<\/a> in Cambridge on the Technology and Democracy<\/a> project, at the Science Museum in London, and at EHESS’s Centre de recherches historiques in Paris. Before that, I was a Kluge Fellow at the Library of Congress in Washington DC and did a PhD at Birkbeck College, having working for a number of years in the film and TV industry before that.<\/p>\n\n\n
