James J Lee , PhD

I am the Associate Vice Provost for Digital Scholarship and Director of the Digital Scholarship Center at the University of Cincinnati, where I am an Associate Professor of Digital Humanities. My research and teaching are in the areas of digital humanities, machine learning and text mining techniques on historical archives, social network analysis and data visualization. I work largely in early modern literature and culture. More recently, my research has branched out into fascinating collaborations applying digital humanities methods with partners in biomedical informatics, corpus linguistics, and law.

I received my PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. My research has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

I am a PI of the Catalyst Model for Transdisciplinary Teams in Digital Scholarship project, generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
