ABOUT
»Hi! I am a Marie Curie research fellow at the Interdisciplinary Center for Archaeological Research and the Evolution of Human Behavior (ICArEHB) in Portugal. On this website I show some of my work as a geoarchaeologist and post updates on my current project, MicroAsh, in which I study the ways in which hunter-gatherers used fire«
»I hold a PhD from the University of Tübingen, Germany, where I investigated site formation processes and paleo-environments at prehistoric open-air sites in northern Malawi and Austria. Until moving to Portugal, I worked freelance as a professional musician«
