CISE Distinguished Lecture: On Perseverance: Virtually Unwrapping the Herculaneum Scrolls

Sep 11, 2025, 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM

Dr. Brent Seales, PhD will tell the story of virtual unwrapping, conceived during the rise of digital libraries and large-scale computing, and now realized on some of the most difficult and iconic material in the world - the Herculaneum Scrolls - as a result of the recent phenomena of big data and machine learning. Virtual unwrapping is a non-invasive restoration pathway for damaged written material, allowing texts to be read from objects that are too damaged even to be opened.
