Projects
My research involves interdisciplinary projects that integrate natural language processing (NLP) techniques with geographic information systems (GIS) to facilitate a critical dialogue between data science, information studies, and geography. These data visualization projects employ data science and mapping techniques to uncover patterns within textual data and visual records using named entity recognition, data visualization, machine learning, LLM-based classification, and georectification of historical maps. In the projects listed below, I strive to combine computational methods for processing historical materials with visualization and mapping techniques. While some of these projects were exploratory and experimental, they exhibit the skills and techniques applicable to future research.

Token Trees
An interactive viewer for how a language model's answers branch and converge, token by token. The example: 2,000 GPT-5.4-mini completions of two prompts that differ by one word, "History, written by AI" and "History, rewritten by AI".
