Rossana is a PhD candidate from UCLouvain (IRES/LIDAM) and KU Leuven (Research Unit of Early Modern History).
Currently, she is developing an interdisciplinary project bridging economics, history and digital humanities funded by a Global Fellowship between KU Leuven and UCLouvain, titled "Bridging Data Science and Intellectual History: Computing the Nodes and Edges in the Old University of Louvain (1425-1797)". The project aims at providing a data-driven answer to the question of how academic networks were configured around the Old University of Louvain, a crucial hub for the transfer of knowledge in late medieval and early modern Europe.
