I am an archaeologist and materials scientist. My research focuses on the Bronze Age and the Middle Ages in Europe. In terms of materials, I focus on the analysis of copper alloys.
My research interests lie in the production and utilisation of copper alloy objects, with a particular focus on the individual work steps involved and the factors that influence them. At IMAREAL, I am currently leading an interdisciplinary project, entitled Gates to Paradise: Creating Metal Doors for 11th-12th Century Churches. As part of this project, a photographic survey of the bronze doors is being carried out, as well as material-technological investigations of them. The aim of these investigations is to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between the materials used and the iconography and artists involved in their production.
