Hello Everyone on the List
I am Gurpreet Singh from INDIA. Being fairly large country, just to narrow it down, I belong to Punjab in north of India. Currently I am Assistant Professor in CSE at Lovely Professional University, Punjab, INDIA.
Fairly new to the area of DH, I came into contact with DH while studying Corpus Linguistics at Trinity College Dublin. Prior to that I am mainly a DIGITAL person (D of DH) with background in Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Computational Linguistics.
My main area of interest is Lexicography for historical and religious texts. Prior to attending DH2012, Hamburg and ESU-C&T, Leipzig and meeting fellow DHumanists there I was thinking there may not be many share my ideas. To my surprise and delight I found quite a few people who were rather interested and appreciated my ideas. Since then I have already received offer for PhD research on my proposal on the same topic.
I am hoping to set up DH Institue in my University and would welcome any suggestion and help about the same.
Regards G. Singh
