Biography

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in archaeology and information management. I am currently working on the MAEASaM project, contributing to the digital preservation of African heritage. I previously worked in similar roles on heritage data management at BIAA and in the Imagining Futures project.

I am interested in everything at the intersection of heritage and information technologies. My special interest is contemporary and ephemeral heritage, especially street art, which I see as an important form of “history from below.” I am especially interested in how today’s heritage can be preserved for the benefit of future colleagues.
