Current interests are in the following
areas:
Applications of Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis to art
conservation and archaeology. FTIR is used for identification and
characterization of artists' materials such as grounds, pigments, varnishes,
coatings, etc. and XRF is used for the detection of heavy elements and for
the analysis of bronzes, silver alloys, etc.
