Short presentation

I received my PhD in comparative literature in December 2017. My thesis investigates the boom in Swedish crime fiction in the early 21st century from quantitative perspectives. Since then I have engaged mainly in computer-aided methods for large-scale literary research within the project "From Close Reading to Distant Reading: Digital Humanities and New Forms for Textual Analysis" (2017–2019).

Since May 2018 employed as digital scholarship librarian at Uppsala University Library.
