About me

I hold a Royal Society PhD studentship funded by the Wellcome Trust and spent 2006-07 transcribing the Hooke Folio at the Royal Society. I am now focusing mmy PhD research on the relationship between the connections between scholars and the East India Company in the period of 1660-1720. This project explores how non-Western knowledge contributed to the 'scientific revolution' in Europe as well as examining the connection between early science and the beginnings of colonialism. I am interesting in using Google Earth to visualise trading routes and in visualisation tools to display networks of scholars and merchants. I also work as a Research Assistant at the Oxford Centre for e-Research on the digital humanites at oxford.
