About
My research portfolio is cross-disciplinary between archaeology, applied geophysics, geosciences and heritage management, and focuses on the application and development of innovative integrated geophysical methods to study sub-surface archaeological sites and landscapes in a non-destructive and high-resolution manner. My research showcases the potential of geophysical methods in archaeology beyond prospection (i.e. bare presence/absence of archaeology) and demonstrates that these diagnostic methods are the best ally to complement and maximise the results provided by more traditional archaeological strategies (e.g. research excavation or trial trenching in archaeological evaluation).

PROJECTS
SENSING IBERIANSCAPES (CIDEXG/2022/55) 'Revealing Iron Age sites and landscapes in the Iberian Peninsula'
TOPIC 1 & 2 – A multi-scalar approach to detect, explore, and digitalise Iron Age indigenous sites and environs in the Eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula: from landscapes, to sites, to single features
Invisible and Visible Cultural Heritage - missing defense lines at the Hanstholmknuden
TOPIC 1 - Investigations of WW2 bunkers at Hanstholm, Denmark
NIDAROD (TAU21161) 'From Nidaros to Novgorod: Cultures Along the Historic St Olav Routes. An Estonian-Norwegian Cooperation Project in Humanities Research' (2021-2023)
TOPIC 1 – The project will allow to launch an archaeo-geophysical investigation of fortresses along the historic St Olav maritime route to Novgorod along the Estonian coast.
COST Action SAGA (CA17131) 'Soil science & Archaeo-Geophysics Alliance: going beyond prospection' (2018-2023)
TOPIC 2 – SAGA is a research network project the develops activities bringing together archaeo-geophysics and soil science with the overall goal of maximising interpretation of proxy data for archaeological investigations.
PROSPECT 'An international academic network for research, education and outreach in archaeological prospection' (2021-2026)
TOPIC 1 – It assembles diverse international expertise on archaeological prospection and associated disciplines to instil a shift towards a more integral investigation of the archaeological record, as well as a more sustainable use of derived results.
COST Action TRACTS (CA20134) 'Traces as Research Agenda for Climate Change, Technology Studies, and Social Justice' (2021-2025)
TOPIC 3 – It brings together scholars from disciplines of the social sciences and humanities with artists, activists, memorialisation experts and legal professionals to bridge current cultural, political and geographical gaps in research on traces.
CHN 'The Climate Heritage Network'
TOPIC 3 – It seeks to scale up culture-based climate action and to make climate policy people-centred through coordination and cooperation among its members.
GEOIbers (AICO 2020/250) 'Geophysical Survey of Iberian Sites' (2021-2022)
TOPIC 2 – The project focused on the investigation of three types of Iberian sites (settlements, metal-production and necropolises) using geophysical methods (i.e. magnetometry and ground-penetrating radar) and photogrammetry.
Ancient City 'Application of Innovative Geoinformatics Technologies for the Study of Urbanisation in Ancient Greece' (2014-2015)
TOPIC 1 – The project sought new horizons in the study of ancient Greek urbanism by integrating satellite and aerial remote sensing, geophysical prospection, and spatial analyses in GIS systems.
IGEAN 'Innovative geophysical approaches for the study of early agricultural villages of Neolithic Thessaly' (2013-2015)
TOPIC 1 – The project aimed to identify intra- and inter-site spatial patterns of contemporary Neolithic settlements in the region under study through the comparative study of archaeological and geophysical data.

Teaching
Courses
Since joining NTNU, I have taught archaeo-geophysics and other scientific methods in archaeological prospection (eg soil analysis) to undergraduate and master's students in the following modules:
- ARK1001 - Introduction to Archaeology (2022, 2019, 2018)
- ARK2002 - Field Methodology and Interpretation (2022, 2020, 2019)
- ARK3002 - Methods of Field Archaeology, Curating and Interpretation (2018)
I have taught on remote sensing methods to undergraduate students at the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen. I have also contributed as a lecturer and coordinator in several international posgraduate training schools under the framework of the EU projects such as 'ArchaeoLandscapes Europe' (ArcLand) and COST Action SAGA (CA17131).
Supervision
I welcome enquires to supervise Masters and Doctoral thesis on topics related to archaeological geophysics, landscape archaeology (Nordic and Mediterranean regions) and endangered cultural heritage monitoring.
