Research Fellow

Research interests

  • I am a Maritime Archaeologist primarily focused in the study of ships and shipwrecks.
  • My research interests concern ways we can better understand the shipwreck sites we are dealing with. I focus on developing theoretical concepts and methodological tools that allow us to better understand people in the past. These include the role of non-human and natural objects and forces in archaeological assemblages, discussions of the Anthropocene, and the integration of different resources into archaeological methods.
  • I am also interested in the application of archaeological process. I am curious about approaches to data collection and excavation and enjoy learning new processes and techniques—or variations on skills and systems I already use. I am interested in the interoperability of data and exploring the integration of static digital archives with archaeological datasets and other data sources, and the interoperability of records and collections. This has developed into my current focus of implementing AI and ML-based systems to facilitate the study of maritime heritage data.
