As an archaeologist specializing mostly in the Roman era, I employ digital archaeology in my exploration of settlements and landscapes. This approach encompasses the incorporation of interdisciplinary methodologies, including bioarchaeological analyses, radiocarbon dating techniques, and aDNA studies. By combining cultural-historical and social archaeological interpretation with these various scientific tools, a more in-depth understanding of the past can be achieved.

Since 2023, I’ve served as a principal investigator in the ÖAW-funded Go!Digital 3.0 long-term archiving project, IUENNA, based at the kärnten.museum. I’ve had the privilege of working on this project alongside my colleague Franziska Reiner from the Austrian Archaeological Institute (ÖAI).

In addition, I participate in several archaeological projects as an archaeologist for the Austrian archaeological service company, ARDIG – Archäologischer Dienst GesmbH.

I am also a lecturer at the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Vienna, and a member of the research network, Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences (HEAS).

I obtained a Ph.D. degree (with honors) from the University of Vienna’s Doctoral School for Cultural and Historical Studies in 2022. My thesis was titled “Roman Rural Landscapes in Noricum: Archaeological Studies on Roman Settlements in the Hinterland of Northern Noricum.”

Another focus of my work is research in the field of ancient nutrition (experimental food archaeology). Primarily, I try to reproduce ancient dishes as they were probably prepared and eaten by the common people.
