Hi, I'm Jaimie Murdock. I am a digital historian, computational social scientist, and musician. Currently, I am a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories. Before becoming a government scientist, I was a web developer at arXiv.org and a web crawl engineer at the Internet Archive ( archive.org ).
In 2019, I earned my PhD in Informatics and Cognitive Science at Indiana University. My dissertation, "Topic Modeling the Reading and Writing Behavior of Information Foragers" explores how individuals search for and discover novel concepts in scientific publications. The first portion of this work was recently published in Cognition as "Exploration and Exploitation of Victorian Science in Darwin's Reading Notebooks" .
For ten years, I've been the lead developer of the InPhO Project , where our team has worked to create a computational representation of philosophy. While at InPhO, I developed the InPhO Topic Explorer , a tool for comparing topic models. I also worked at the HathiTrust Research Center, developing the HTRC Workset Toolkit and the HTRC Data Capsule .
