I've always been interested in history, especially the Roman Empire. Recently, I learned about burnt scrolls from Pompeii that no one could read. A competition was launched using CT scans to find writing in these scrolls, and I was eager to participate. I’ve been working on this project during my free time, using my laptop and some extra computers. After many hours of searching, I received a message about a new piece of the scroll. When I analyzed it, I discovered three Greek letters, marking the first time we detected writing. The word found was "prophoros," meaning purple, which was exciting because it has meaning. This project, aided by modern AI, is allowing us to read entire paragraphs from the scrolls, and the attention it has received has been overwhelming yet rewarding. The support from the University of Nebraska has been crucial in encouraging bold thinking in my work.
