Hello guys, I am a CS engineer and from time to time I see this term “Digital Humanities” thrown around. After a few internet search I still haven’t understood.

Do you know what is it all about?

    It’s about methodology more than research questions, although they are of course linked. Incorporating digital methods in your humanities project, like GIS, 3D modeling or ABM, will quickly land you in digital humanities. Remember though, humanities have a lot of theory and methodology you might be unfamiliar with as a CS student, so teaming up with someone who has those skills but lack in programming etc. will synergize in this field.
