Top SchoolTom Lippincott is an Associate Research Professor and director of the Center for Digital Humanities at Johns Hopkins with 17 years of experience at the intersection of open-source software, NLP, and machine learning. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Cambridge and combines faculty appointments in Computer Science, the Humanities Institute, and the Center for Language and Speech Processing to advance computational approaches to traditional humanistic scholarship. His background spans research scientist roles at Columbia and hands-on systems engineering—designing large compute clusters and managing institutional migrations—so he brings both experimental ML expertise and production-grade infrastructure skills. Known for integrating technical rigor with humanities questions, he focuses on building open tools that make computational intelligence accessible to scholars beyond computer science.
