Dr. Drobac's research interests revolve around digitizing historical and governmental records, particularly in Finland, to create interoperable data services. She explores challenges such as deduplicating historical actors, improving OCR accuracy, and designing semantic portals for cultural heritage exploration. Her work bridges computer science and digital humanities, emphasizing data accessibility and collaboration with cultural institutions.
Her publications span 2021–2024, with a focus on parliamentary data systems, OCR pipelines for historical debates, and metadata integration in cultural heritage projects. She has collaborated with institutions like Utrecht University and organized events such as the SKILLNET Conference (2022).
Dr. Drobac contributed to datasets like ParliamentSampo Knowledge Graph and LetterSampo Finland, which provide open access to parliamentary speeches and historical letter networks. These resources enable interdisciplinary studies in political science, history, and computational linguistics.
