Temi di ricerca

My research has been primarily centred on the development and application of bespoke quantitative and computational methods to Archaeology.  I apply these approaches to address a variety of research topics, including settlement patterns, long-term human-environment interactions, population dynamics, and long-distance cultural contacts and trade. I also took part, with roles of scientific responsibility, in several campaigns of archaeological fieldwork, primarily in Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Italy. I am currently working as a senior assistant professor in methods for archaeological research (3-year tenure track) and on the project "The Empire Strikes Back: the Geography of Governance Strategies in the Assyrian Empire" funded by the Rita Levi Montalcini programme for early career researchers. Furthermore, I am the Principal Investigator of the project "Governance Policies and Political Landscapes in the Southern Levant under the Neo-Assyrian Empire" funded by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung.
