Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJelke Bloem is an Assistant Professor in Computational Humanities at the University of Amsterdam with eight years of experience applying digital tools, large corpora, and language technology to questions in linguistics and the humanities. His work spans corpus linguistics, statistical modeling, automatic annotation, agent-based modeling, and probabilistic language models, with a PhD focused on verb word order variation in Dutch and Frisian. He combines rigorous methodological evaluation with experimental computational approaches, having contributed to projects ranging from crowdsourced language data processing to computational histories of ideas. Based in Amsterdam, he bridges departments of logic, language, media studies and philosophy, bringing interdisciplinary insight into how computational methods can reveal long-term linguistic change. A detail often overlooked: his background in humanities computing (cum laude) and early GIS/web mapping work give him practical strengths in building reproducible, data-driven research infrastructures.
