Research Projects
Investigator: the Italian-Egyptian Bilateral Project “Archaeological Egyptian Heritage and Materials: advances in noninvasive portable spectroscopy and imaging analysis” (2013-2015) within the executive programme of scientific and technological cooperation between the Italian republic and the Arab republic of Egypt. The project is in partnership between the Faculty of Archaeology (Fayoum University, Egypt) and Politecnico di Milano (Italy). Devices selected for the project include luminescence time-resolved and spectrally-resolved imaging cameras, XRF and Raman spectrometers and visible multispectral camera, which provide an insight into material composition and conservation conditions of cultural heritage objects in a non-invasive way. Budget: $45000
