Top SchoolShawn Graham is a Full Professor of Digital Humanities at Carleton University and a digital archaeologist who blends archaeological expertise with AI, computer vision, and computational methods to study cultural heritage and the online trade in human remains. As MA Programme Coordinator and editor of the open-access journal Epoiesen, he champions creative, open scholarship and helped lead the award-winning O-DATE open digital archaeology textbook project. His research with CRANE explores generative adversarial networks applied to archaeological photography, a niche that bridges deep learning and material culture studies.
