Habilitation 1997 in Material Sciences (Archaeometallurgy) at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg. Since 1999 at the UCL Institute of Archaeology in London (more...). My main interest is in the production of artificial high-temperature materials (sorry, that's metal and glass) throughout archaeology. Long-term co-operation with my friend and colleague Dr Edgar Pusch as part of the excavation project Ramses-Stadt, the ancient Pi-Ramesses. In 2011 move to lead the establishment of UCL Qatar, a new department of UCL in Doha, Qatar.
