Karina van Dalen-Oskam is research group leader at Huygens Institute (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) and professor of Computational Literary Studies at the University of Amsterdam.

She is also interested in canon formation. She was project leader of The Riddle of Literary Quality (2012-2019) and recently published a Dutch monograph about the results titled Het raadsel literatuur: is literaire kwaliteit meetbaar?
