About
I completed my PhD in 2010 and graduated 2011. Since PhD submission I have been employed as an adjunct lecturer, teaching undergraduates and master's students at the University of Nottingham. I have recently taken a career break for maternity but during that time I continued to work by lecturing part-time, preparing a number of articles for publication (I have recently had two papers accepted to peer-reviewed journals), and co-organising a conference to be held in Athens this June (http://www.priniatikos.net/conference.html).
My research to date has focussed on the chemical analysis of ancient glass, the social aspects of ancient technology, and the development and application of analytical techniques. I am particularly interested in approaches which help to bridge, or make redundant, the apparent divide between archaeological science and archaeological theory, and am also part of a research team investigating the development of innovative analytical techniques for the study of archaeological materials. I am the glass specialist for the site of Priniatikos Pyrgos, Crete, and am directing a collaborative project focusing on medieval Islamic glass from al-Andalus, Spain (http://www.wix.com/alandalusglass/about).
Links to other projects with which I am, or have been, involved are listed under 'websites'.
