Six Months In: New Adventures in Geoarchaeology and Heritage Science
It’s hard to believe it’s already been six months since I joined Durham University . The time has absolutely flown by, and I’ve found myself in the midst of a whirlwind of new ideas, collaborations, and opportunities that are making this next chapter of my career incredibly exciting. One of the most rewarding aspects so far has been the chance to work across disciplinary boundaries. There’s a real appetite here for collaboration, and I’ve been lucky to connect with brilliant colleagues in engineering, biosciences, and computer science. Together, we’re developing a cross-department XR-CT centre, bringing together our complementary facilities in Archaeology and Engineering . I’ve also been exploring new collaborations with the computer science team, particularly around machine learning for XR-CT segmentation and analysis. There’s huge potential here, not just for streamlining workflows, but for transforming how we interpret complex datasets in archaeology. We’re already thinking ...
