Elli Bleeker is a scientific researcher at the Huygens Institute (KNAW) with a decade of experience at the intersection of textual scholarship and computational humanities. She specializes in textual variation, genetic criticism, and digital scholarly editing, bringing practical editorial skills together with XML-based text modeling and manuscript studies. Her PhD from the Centre for Manuscript Genetics investigated the role of the scholarly editor in digital environments, and her Marie Curie–funded DiXiT fellowship provided advanced training in manuscript genetics and text modeling. At Huygens she works in a compact team that blends humanities research with software development and information engineering to advance philological practice for born-digital editions. Fluent in French and experienced in digitization and publishing workflows, she combines deep domain expertise with hands-on technical fluency that often surfaces in tooling and metadata design choices rather than just finished editions. Based in the Netherlands, she is a steady bridge between traditional editorial practice and practical computational solutions for modern manuscript scholarship.
