RESEARCH PROFILE
My research combines archaeology, philosophy, and social theory to explore how digital technologies and their materiality shape our understanding of contemporary society. Drawing on the ontological turn in archaeology and anthropology, I focus on rethinking archaeology's disciplinary relationship to the “contemporary past.”
In addition to my research, I specialize in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and am expanding my competencies in programming and artificial intelligence with the aim of contributing to the advancement of the humanities.
