Hubert Mara is an

Archaeoinformatics
and the application of methods from computer science to the humanities, and thus a combination of these fields.

Education and career

Hubert Mara graduated (

excavations in Israel and Peru, where he learned to combine methods of computer science and humanities. Early on, he participated in the development of new methods here, such as for 3D recording of ancient pottery for the Austrian Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum. After graduation, he received a Marie Curie Fellowship, with the help of which he went to the University of Florence, where he joined the Cultural Heritage Informatics Research Oriented Network (CHIRON)[1]
was involved in the development of the London Charter for the Computational Visualization of Cultural Heritage.

In 2009, Mara moved to the

Research topics

Mara's main focus is on the connection of computer science with the humanities, especially archaeology. The core of his work is the development of new analysis, representation and research methods for archaeological finds, such as the age determination of 3D-captured cuneiform tablets with

Artificial Intelligence[10] as well as recognition of cuneiform signs.[11] Starting with GigaMesh, he has done fundamental work in these areas. Since 2016, he has served on the advisory board of the German chapter of the Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology
. Mara's publication list now includes a three-digit number of publications of various types and forms.
