| I joined the School of Classics in 2012, as Lecturer in Classical Archaeology and Curator of the Classical Museum, following a spell researching in Athens. In 2009-10, I was Visiting Scholar in the Center for Archaeological Investigations, Southern Illinois University Carbondale. This was preceded by two years of teaching in other Classics departments in Ireland: National University of Ireland Galway, and Trinity College Dublin. My PhD, funded by an IRCHSS postgraduate award and a Trinity College Dublin postgraduate award, was awarded by TCD in 2007. I am involved in the fieldwork project at Priniatikos Pyrgos in east Crete, where I work on Early Minoan ceramics and coordinate the fieldschool. Away from work, I enjoy cooking, cricket (amongst other sports) and hiking. |
