HISTORY
& AI

My research combines rigorous historical scholarship with computational methods to uncover new insights about the past and their implications for the present.

Currently building a new AI-powered archive at Arkeon. My previous work includes HistoryLab AI, which makes declassified documents searchable, and Gnosis, which transforms complex texts into interactive learning experiences.

I believe technology should serve human understanding, not replace it. My thesis on WWII strategic bombing was recognized with Columbia's Alan J. Willen Memorial Prize for challenging 80 years of historical narrative using data-driven methods.

I write on Substack about technology, culture, and ideas. My main publication, Political Atheism, applies René Girard's mimetic theory to literature, culture, and contemporary society through close readings, philosophical analysis, and computational modeling.
