Research Interests

PhD in Ancient Archaeology, I'm currently working at Archeosciences Bordeaux under a postodoctoral position in Digital Archaeology which is part of the framework of the GPR « Human Past ». This postdoctoral research project will contribute to design and explore innovative approaches to the scientific study of archaeological sites. This will be mostly based onto gathering various sources of documentation and digital data available in a unique 3D reference system.

Additionnaly, I make research in Archaeology, specialized in Greek Architecture and decoration. Having completed a massive dissertation at Bordeaux Montaigne, I'm also expert in the Lesbian kyma. Throughout my academic career, I have developed a dual competence based on the acquisition of advanced digital technologies (3D modeling, Photogrammetry, Lasergrammetry, 3DGIS) applied in archaeological sciences.
