Description
PhD in Conservation Science (2010, UNL, Lisbon, Portugal), Post-Graduation in Pre-History and Archaeology (2006, FL-UL, Lisbon, Portugal), 5 year degree in Conservation and Restoration (2004, FCT-UNL, Caparica, Portugal). Main interests are on ancient metal studies, achaeometallurgy, experimental archeology and conservation science. The most recent works focus on the study of copper based metallurgy from Chalcolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age Portuguese archaeological sites and on the long term corrosion of copper base alloys such as bronze.
