Congratulations to CASCI member Kelly McClinton for successfully defending her dissertation entitled “Computationally Modeling Roman Domestic Art and Architecture” on April 23rd 2021. Kelly was co-supervised by Luis Rocha and Bernard Frischer. She completed her PhD degree as a fellow of the NSF-NRT Interdisciplinary training in Complex networks and Systems. Dr. McClinton’s research investigates how computational models, including 3D reconstructions, mixed-media models, complex systems, and machine learning, present unique technological affordances in studying the fragmented material record of ancient Rome, focusing on domestic Roman art and architecture. In addition to Complex Networks and Systems, her dissertation contributes to the fields of virtual heritage, archaeology, and art history. Kelly is now the Assistant Director of the Virtual World Heritage Lab, and this fall, Kelly will be studying at the University of Oxford, and working on a project entitled “Elite Identity in Domestic Space in Rome. Architectural Change and Redecoration in Late Antique Houses” under the supervision of Professor Ine Jacobs
