Présentation
Postdoctoral researcher specializing in use-wear analysis and prehistoric archaeology.
With a PhD from New York University, I have developed expertise in experimental archaeology, methodological innovation, and the study of lithic tools. My work combines advanced technologies such as confocal microscopy, photogrammetry, and artificial intelligence to investigate the behaviors and socio-economic patterns of ancient human populations. Currently based at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, I am conducting research on the impact of fire on lithic tool surfaces while collaborating with international teams to enhance the standardization and reproducibility of traceological methods. My goal is to bridge archaeology, technology, and anthropology to deepen our understanding of prehistoric human adaptations and cultural exchanges.
