Timothy R. Tangherlini

Timothy R. Tangherlini is a Professor in the Scandinavian Section at UCLA. He received his training in Old Norse and Old Icelandic at Harvard University and the University of California, Berkeley. His earliest work on computation in the field of Old Norse-Icelandic literature focused on digital versions of standard edition saga texts. In the 1980s and early 1990s, he was part of a group at Berkeley that expanded the scope of “CREST” (Computer-Aided Research on Early Scandinavian Topics), that had begun exploring the use of computation to produce concordances of saga texts. In 2001, he began work with Kryztof Urban and Aurelijus Vijunas on designing IceMorph, a morphological analyzer for Old Icelandic. He has held teaching positions at the University of California, Los Angeles, Harvard University, the University of Copenhagen, and the University of Iceland. His research has been funded by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the Fullbright Foundation, The Henry R. Luce Foundation, the European Union, and the University of California. More information about Dr. Tangherlini can be found at: http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/humnet/scandinavian/faculty/Tangherlini_T/
