I have worked with luminescence dating, radiocarbon dating, organic residue analysis and elemental analysis of a wide range of Egyptian archaeological material. I am also working (or have worked) with Nubian, Cypriot, Maltese, Madagascan, Swedish and Norwegian archaeological materials.
I am passionate about archaeological science and particularly how it can be applied to the study of ancient Egypt. I believe in engaging in an interdisciplinary approach to Egyptology, working with large research teams that strive to achieve maximum understanding of the ancient past by using all available methodologies.
