Meet Our Fellows

Fellowship Project

Ms. Wu Luchun spent seven months (October 2023 – May 2024) at the British Library in London, U.K. During her Fellowship, she examined dharanis and sutras of the Wuyue region and compare them with related Dunhuang materials collected at the British Library. She also participated in projects including the digitisation of the Lotus Sutra Manuscripts and the International Dunhuang Project (IDP), gaining experience in manuscript digitisation, techniques of digital humanities such as data mining and automated character/text-recognition, while helping to refine the IDP database.
