is a doctoral candidate in a cotutelle between Université du Québec à
Montréal and Paris-Sorbonne, and focusses her doctoral research on the
goddess Bastet, linked to pharaonic discourse and dynastic patronage in
the Twenty-Second Dynasty (943-746 BC). She is research assistant for
Prof. Jean Revez and works as an epigrapher for the Karnak Great Hypostyle Hall Project. She was a dialectal coach for the 2016 film X-Men Apocalypse and is currently a consultant for the new CBS tv-show Blood and Treasure.
The
ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphics for over 3000 years. We’re
focusing on hieroglyphics from the Middle Egyptian language, which was
used from 2000 BC until as late as the 4th Century AD.
Because
of their age, the quality of inscriptions carved on stone three to four
thousand years ago varies greatly – with many having missing or damaged
portions.
It’s our belief
that machine learning can transform the process of collating,
cataloguing and understanding the written language of the Pharaohs.
