I invite international researchers and training students to apply technical art examination methods to field projects in Sicily that I’m already working on with other scientists and Sicilian professionals in the cultural heritage sector. Two weeks ago I hosted Corinna Koch Dandolo, currently PhD student at the prestigious DTU (Technical University of Denmark) Fotonik – Department of Photonics Engineering. I already
I do my best to have international scientists working on Sicilian Art; last week I hosted Corinna Koch Dandolo, currently PhD student at the prestigious DTU (Technical University of Denmark) Fotonik – Department of Photonics Engineering. Her research focuses on developing applications for cultural heritage examination for the advanced 3D THz (Terahertz) imaging technique. I posted here a video about the
FORS (Fiber Optics Reflectance Spectroscopy) has been used for art examination and art conservation for at least 2 decades for identification of pigments [1, 2, 3, 4] and dyestuffs [5]. The strength of this method is the relatively simplicity of the equipment: a source of light, a spectrometer and 2 fibers optics, one to deliver
Contributed by Samantha Stout This post covers the second 2-day workshop held by CHARISMA partners in Torun, Poland from 27-28 June 2013. This time the sessions were all geared towards OCT, a technique established for use in ophthalmology and then further developed by Prof. Targowski’s research group at UMK who’ve built their own system, which
This blog is growing and I’m starting to get contributed posts. The goal of this blog is to network with like-minded professionals and students. Samantha Stout is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of California, San Diego. She is in the Materials Science and Engineering program and conducts research on scientific methods for cultural heritage
