Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Piotrowski is an Associate Professor of Digital Humanities at the University of Lausanne with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of computational linguistics, digital editions and research infrastructure. He has led research groups and major digitization and DH-infrastructure projects (including contributions to DARIAH-DE) and combines deep technical skills—Python development, XML/SGML workflows and UNIX-based systems—with scholarly expertise in historical texts. His career spans academic appointments and applied roles in publishing and e-learning, where he built widely used component-based platforms and migration tools for legacy content. Based in Lausanne, he is known for turning complex editorial and linguistic requirements into sustainable digital scholarly editions and services. A less obvious strength is his long track record of operationalising research software—managing not just code but the deployment, versioning and community adoption that make DH projects enduring.
