About
I'm an archaeologist with broad interest in topics surrounding the origins, adaptations and global expansions of our species, Homo sapiens, up to the transition from forager to farmer lifeways, predominately focused on southern Asia and tropical Africa.
I joined the Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology in May 2024, and took up my University Research Fellowship from August 2024.
I've previously held a Senior Scientist, Post-Doctoral Researcher and Fellowship roles at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology (Jena, Germany), Royal Holloway University of London (UK), University of Liverpool (UK), the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History (Jena, Germany), University of Cambridge (UK) and the Université de Bordeaux (France).
I hold a DPhil in Archaeological Science from the University of Oxford (2012), and an MPhil in Biological Anthropology and an MA (Cantab) in Archaeology and Anthropology from the University of Cambridge. In addition, I have spent a number of years working in developer-funded archaeology, primarily in eastern England.
