Top SchoolPetra Heřmánková is an Assistant Professor and digital epigrapher who bridges classical archaeology, ancient history, and software-driven Digital Humanities with over a decade of research experience and 15+ years in archaeological fieldwork. She designs and applies computational and statistical methods—Monte Carlo simulation, text mining, and social network analysis—to extract patterns from fragmentary Latin and Greek epigraphic evidence across the Roman Empire. Committed to FAIR and Open Science, she develops practical tools and workflows that enable large-scale, reproducible scholarship and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Her work uniquely combines hands-on excavation insight with scalable data practices, reflecting both technical fluency and deep domain expertise in the ancient Mediterranean. Outside academia she’s known as a coffee nerd, curler, and cat lover, a hint of the curiosity and team spirit she brings to projects.
