Petra Hermankova serves as an Assistant Professor in Classical Archaeology at Aarhus University's School of Culture and Society, where she also contributes to the Social Resilience Lab. Her academic appointment is active with ongoing projects through 2025 and recent publications in 2025 confirm her current faculty status. Her research focuses on digital epigraphy and the application of computational methods to ancient inscriptions. She employs text mining, machine learning, and social network analysis to study inscription functions across Graeco-Roman societies, economic history patterns, and labor specialization. Her work emphasizes FAIR and Open Science principles in archaeological data management, particularly through leadership in the Epigraphy.info initiative which develops international standards for digital epigraphy. Hermankova's publication trends reveal increasing engagement with computational approaches to ancient social networks and epigraphic big data , with recent work integrating SPARQL querying, RDF modeling, and network visualization techniques. Her research bridges traditional archaeological methods with cutting-edge digital humanities tools, focusing on Mediterranean communities from Thrace to the Roman Empire. She actively participates in major collaborative projects including The Past Social Networks Project (Carlsberg Foundation, 2022-2025), PPAP: Perachora Peninsula Archaeological Project (2019-2024), and SDAM: Small data - Big Challenges (2019-2023). Hermankova regularly organizes international workshops through Epigraphy.info and teaches practical courses in digital epigraphy methodology.
