Research: A geomatic approach to the study of Mobility, Space and Landscape changes in the Arabian Peninsula East coast in relation to the mobile societies.

PhD candidate at the Sapienza University.

My formation has been an international one where I had the opportunity to experience the American and British education systems, and these multicultural educational perspectives has allowed me to view the archaeological field and academic research from different perspectives. This aspect of multicultural experiences became essential to my doctoral project and thus is reflected in the different techniques that will be used to study the issues of mobility in the Arabian Peninsula during the Bronze and Iron Age.
