Rens Bod (born 1965, Bergh) is a professor in digital humanities and history of humanities at the University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on the exploration of patterns and underlying principles in language, music, art, literature and history. He also investigates the history of pattern searching in the humanities from a supranational perspective, thereby giving an impulse to the new field of "history of the humanities". In addition, Bod explores the history of the human search for meaning and purpose, and the underlying patterns and principles therein.
