Enrico Mercuri is an Adjunct Professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, UNSW Sydney where he leads research, and co-supervises doctoral students. As a lawyer he has contributed to the drafting and interpretation of Australian Federal taxation law.Enrico's formation included having Dante's Inferno read to him by his mother in his early years. This was followed by formal education in which he was awarded the university medal in Italian and wrote an Honours dissertation on Dante. He committed to only ever read the Divine Comedy in the original vernacular or in Italian. In 2022, for completeness and comparative assessment, Enrico elected to include English translations in his research.In keeping with his contemporary approach to academic research, Enrico maintains a parallel programme at UNSW Sydney that employs data analytics. It is being utilised to identify and comparatively analyse the poetic form between the original and various English translations of the Divine Comedy. This analysis will culminate in subsequent publications. See less
