Her recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward developing digital spatial infrastructures for pre-modern societies, with particular emphasis on creating standardized gazetteers for East Norse literature. The 2023 publications reveal sophisticated integration of GIS technologies with philological analysis to map medieval spatial concepts.
