Academic interests
My research interests revolve around mechanical properties of art and conservation materials, with a specific angles of sustainability and effectiveness of conservation interventions. I am particularly interested in adhesives and introducing new technologies into the field of conservation. Simultaneously, as a philosopher I am interested in aesthetics and ethics of heritage preservation.
