Dennis Braekmans joined the Faculty of Archaeology in
Leiden in 2021 with a research focus on materials analysis
and archaeometry. After a PhD in Archaeology at KU
Leuven, he was active as lecturer at the universities of
Delft, Leiden and Cranfield. His research continues to
focus on an interdisciplinary integration of approaches
from archaeology, materials science, forensic science and
geology to advance knowledge on the provenance and
production of ancient materials, resolving archaeological
and historical questions related to ceramics, glass,
obsidian, stone and metal objects.
