Professional profile
Archaeologist | Archaeometry | Thermography
Archaeologist and archaeometrist specialized in morphological and compositional characterization of archaeological materials (ceramics, metals, lithics) through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Research topics involve application of active and passive thermography to the study of fragile supports (papyri, ancient manuscripts) and hypogea architectural surfaces.
