Department/Unit: University Libraries
Email: jar48@psu.edu
Research Interests: I am interested in how AI modelling can effectively transliterate culinary manuscripts written in Kurrentschrift to modern typeface and how AI can connect recipes and culinary techniques across anonymous and authored manuscripts in digitized collections.By using AI models to compare ingredients and cooking processes from German-language manuscripts in digitized holdings, my hope is to uncover clues to manuscript provenance and culinary novelty. On a broader level, I am also interested in how the introduction and spread of ingredients and culinary techniques as a result of the Colombian Exchange influenced European ingredient usage, culinary technique, and cuisine during the early modern period.
