In every artifact, there is a story waiting to be uncovered, a connection to the people who shaped our world. My work is to help preserve those stories for future generations.
I am a PhD Candidate at Durham University, specializing in material culture and settlement archaeology. My research focuses on pottery production in Egypt, spanning from the Predynastic to the early Islamic period. Using a multidisciplinary approach that includes ethnoarchaeology, chaîne opératoire, craft landscapes, and GIS, I explore the dynamics of craft landscape (ancient workshops). I also serve as Assistant Editor for World Archaeology and am a member of the Sais Excavation Mission in Egypt. As Project Coordinator for EAMENA at Durham University, I manage key aspects of the project, including organizing workshops, delivering training, and overseeing digitization projects. Additionally, I manage EAMENA's MOOCs on cultural heritage assessment and monitoring in the Middle East, engaging a global audience in heritage preservation through platforms like FutureLearn.
