Senior🎓
Top SchoolDan Schwartz is an Associate Professor of History and Associate Director of the Center for Digital Humanities Research at Texas A&M University with 12 years of academic experience and a PhD from Princeton. He co-directs Syriaca.org, a linked-open-data initiative that has secured over $1M in grant funding and delivers digital cultural-heritage tools such as the SPEAR prosopography and a Syriac Studies ontology. His scholarship bridges late antiquity and digital humanities, authoring monographs and edited volumes on Christian initiation and conversion while building infrastructure that preserves and enables new research on Syriac sources. Based in College Station, he combines traditional philological training (classics, philosophy, religious studies) with practical expertise in linked data and ontology development. Colleagues value him for turning specialized humanities questions into interoperable digital resources that serve an international scholarly community. His work quietly blends archival depth with data-driven methods, making niche historical materials widely discoverable and reusable.
