The iSchool is pleased to announce that Nicola Carboni has joined the faculty as an assistant professor. He previously served as a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer in digital humanities at the University of Geneva.

Carboni's research focuses on the intersection of knowledge representation and data analysis. He is particularly interested in the development and application of computational methods for modeling, integrating, and analyzing historical and cultural data.

"I am thrilled to join the iSchool at Illinois," said Carboni. "The iSchool's interdisciplinary spirit makes it the perfect environment to continue my research on the use of digital methodologies to examine our past. I am excited to collaborate with faculty and students to explore and develop innovative ways to document, represent, and analyze our culture(s)."

Carboni completed his PhD in visual heritage and knowledge graphs at the National Technical University of Athens in collaboration with the MAP Laboratory at the National Research Center of France. He previously served as a fellow at the Swiss Art Research Infrastructure at the University of Zurich and a digital humanities fellow at the Harvard Center for Italian Renaissance Studies.

"We are very pleased to welcome Nicola," said Interim Executive Associate Dean and Visiting Professor Jiangping Chen. "His collaborative, innovative approach to culture and digital humanities strengthens the iSchool's multidisciplinary and research excellence."
