Biography
My professional background encompasses extensive research in the application of advanced optoelectronic techniques for the preservation of cultural heritage, with a primary focus on laser cleaning, material characterization, and identification through various methods such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, colorimetry, etc. My research portfolio extends to diverse materials, including contemporary artwork, archaeological ceramics, stone, metal, and more. In addition, I have a research interest in the application of ultra-short laser pulses. My work extends to the modification of optical coatings, polymers, and various materials, with practical applications in diverse fields such as biomedicine, optical industry, green technologies, and many more.
