Estelle Guéville (@EstelleGvl)
Before joining Yale’s PhD program in Medieval Studies in 2022, Estelle worked as Assistant Curator and Researcher in several institutions in France and in the Gulf. At the Louvre Abu Dhabi, she, amongst other responsibilities, developed academic research in various fields, including research on medieval collections using digital methods. Her research interests include the qualitative and quantitative study of manuscripts, as well as questions of authorship, attribution and copy. As a medievalist, she is interested in applying digital methods and comparative approaches for the study of manuscripts.
David Joseph Wrisley (@DJWrisley)
He is Professor of Digital Humanities at NYU Abu Dhabi. His research interests include comparative approaches to medieval literature in European languages and Arabic, digital spatial approaches to corpora, neural methods for handwritten text recognition across writing systems and open knowledge community building in the Middle East where he has lived and researched since 2002.

He was an art history major and Student Research Assistant at NYU Abu Dhabi. After work experiences in commercial galleries in Venice and Paris, he joined the NYUAD Art Gallery as a Student Curatorial Assistant in 2020.

Alice Fournier
Alice is a masters degree student at the Université de Franche-Comté, studying Rare Books & Digital Humanities. After studying art history in The Netherlands and Ireland, she decided to embark on one last master back home in France to round up her studies. Her current interests are in stylometry and how language relates to and influences the creation of folklore. She is currently writing her master’s thesis on the Beast of Gévaudan, studying it through this particular lens.
