Conservation Science (Cultural Heritage Conservation) and Museum Studies
Lectures and classes available for working professionals and students
My area of expertise lies in an interdisciplinary field that spans the humanities and sciences.
It is a new academic field that requires knowledge of both art history and science.
I am developing lecture and course content designed to help students engage with and understand cultural properties (art and crafts) and museum collections more deeply than ever before, and to contribute to a better understanding of the local community through these materials.
