Benjamin Neumann

Computer Scientist and Public Historian

I am Benjamin Neumann, a computer scientist and public historian based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

My work draws on archival research and digital methods to investigate historical institutions, communities, and the ways people remember the past.

Areas of Work

Computer Science

My background includes graduate study in computer science, software development, systems design, quality assurance, and applied research. I am interested in how technical systems can be designed to solve real-world problems and make complex information more accessible.

Public History

My public-history work includes archival research, historical preservation, public interpretation, community engagement, and digital methods. I am particularly interested in public memory and the relationship between communities and their histories.

I am especially interested in the intersection of these fields, applying technical and analytical methods to historical research, interpretation, and public engagement.
