Additional Information

I am leading modules on introduction to conservation practice, the decay and conservation of organic materials and the conservation of inorganic materials. I contribute to teaching modules on practical conservation projects, archaeological science and to supervising independent conservation studies and dissertations for BSc and MSc programmes in Conservation (see Biography Page).
