Research
My affiliation with the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University continues through in-kind support for field trainings, editorial assistance with staff publications, and legacy research for my postdoctoral position (2020 – 2021) within the Anchoring Innovation research agenda of OIKOS, funded by the multi-institutional Gravitation grant from NWO.
As of April 2022, I hold a full-time position at Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS), an institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and the Dutch Research Council (NWO), where I support the project management of FAIR-IMPACT and Work Package 2 within FAIRCORE4EOSC. These projects aim to realise a minimum viable European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), either through coordination and support (FAIR-IMPACT) or the creation of core components (FAIRCORE4EOSC). I am also part of the Horizon Europe Technology working group of the EOSC Forum, which facilitates technical collaboration among EOSC projects like FAIR-IMPACT, FAIRCORE4EOSC, EOSC Future, and EOSC Focus.
Curriculum vitae
Regarding my academic and professional background, I hold a PhD in Archaeology from Leiden University (2020), an MPhil in Archaeological Research from the University of Cambridge (2012), and BA in Anthropology from the University of Alabama (2010) with specialisations in medieval history and the archaeology of complex societies. From 2012 to 2015, I served as a Staff Archaeologist and Field Director for the cultural resource management firm, Panamerican Consultants, Inc. (PCI), directing more than 60 surveys and excavations across the south-eastern U.S. In 2016, I joined the ERC-funded SETinSTONE project as a PhD candidate within the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University, continuing with the project as a postdoctoral researcher. Following that, I was a funded postdoctoral researcher for the Anchoring Innovation research agenda within OIKOS, The Netherlands National Research School in Classical Studies. My project, “Anchoring mimetic design as a building guide during the Aegean Bronze Age”, applied correspondence analysis and a collective memory framework to Early Bronze Age fortifications.
My key publications are open access and can be found on my Academia page. For inquiries, please use my KNAW-DANS address available through the website.
