She is particularly interested in bringing together methods and theories from a range of disciplines that could essentially contribute to the rethinking of digital, archival and collection-based research.

Eirini was the Co-Investigator of the International Research Collaboration Network in Computational Archival Science (IRCN-CAS), funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). She is also the Co-Investigator of the AURA network – bringing together digital humanists, computer scientists and stakeholders to unlock cultural assets, funded by AHRC and the Irish Research Council.

As part of her role, she is also leading the Digital Experimentation workshops. Eirini blogs regularly about her work.

Eirini has extensive experience working on interdisciplinary research projects across the Cultural Heritage and Higher Education sectors. In 2015 she received a doctorate in History of Science from the University of Athens, and she has been a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge and the University of Helsinki.
