As an art historian, I am particularly interested in artistic techniques in the Middle Ages, such as the processing, production and simulation of materials as well as their meaningful function and use on the object. To this end, I incorporate art-technological analyses collected by conservators and restorers into my studies and evaluate them according to art historical questions. At IMAREAL, I am currently working on a project proposal within the research area “Sensing Materiality and Virtuality”.
Main areas of teaching and research
Medieval art (painting, sculpture); art techniques in the Middle Ages; iconography and iconology; digital art history; history and theory of restoration, conservation, and monument preservation.
