Section 02 / Research
Research organized around the web’s long memory.
Across projects, I examine what web archives contain, what they omit, and how their records can remain understandable as platforms, language, and audiences change.
01
Web archives
Improving the capture and replay of dynamic, personalized, and distributed web experiences.
- Memento & time-based access
- Personalized advertisements
- Replay fidelity & context
02
Semantic change
Tracing how concepts and vocabularies evolve across domains, communities, documents, and time.
- Provenance-aware methods
- Metadata vocabularies
- Knowledge organization
03
Scholarly infrastructure
Building open, interoperable systems for researchers, librarians, archivists, and students.
- Digital libraries
- Persistent identifiers
- Open research tools

Research environment / MAT Lab
A lab for the web’s long memory.
The MAT Lab studies how people and systems collect, revisit, and understand web resources over time—across archives, metadata, and open-source infrastructure.
