I am a heritage scientist, Associate Professor of Heritage Science in University College London. I am interested in preventive conservation and citizen science, mixed with computational models. I have created this website to explan the work of my team in an accessible way.

You can also read about why I do what I do.

The most updated list of publications and projects is in my university profile.

Portfolio

This is a list of the papers of my team with short descriptions of the main findings. I like to see publication as the start of the journey of a paper, rather than the end. I hope this index of publications helps some readers find useful results, explained in plain words.
