Paul Vierthaler is affiliated faculty in the Department of Data Science at the College of William & Mary's College of Arts & Sciences. His work bridges computational methods with humanities research, particularly in East Asian studies. Specializing in digital humanities, he explores cross-linguistic textual analysis, historical narratives, and bibliometric trends in premodern China. His research employs advanced algorithms for text reuse detection and examines intersections between fiction, history, and public knowledge in Late Imperial China.
Key research themes include:
- Application of computational linguistics to Buddhist Chinese and Classical Tibetan texts
- Analyzing architectural networks in Baroque Rome through historical data
- Quantitative analysis of printing practices in Ming-Qing China
- Study of quasi-historical narratives and their role in public discourse
His publications span 2014-2022, demonstrating a trajectory from social history of East Asia to increasingly computational methodologies. This work intersects disciplines like art history, library science, and cultural studies. No academic awards or grants are listed in the provided texts.
