My research is focused on the development and application of luminescence techniques to provide age constrains on archaeological materials or geological events. My work is specifically geared towards: (i) understanding luminescence processes of minerals in terrestrial sediments, (ii) extend the age range of the method to the Plio-Pleistocene, and (iii) investigating the chronology of human evolution in Eurasia and Africa.
A detailed description of my ongoing research projects may be found here.
I am currently setting-up a new luminescence dating laboratory with state-of-the art instrumentation, and actively seeking talented and motivated undergraduates, graduate students, post-docs, and visitors to take advantage of our facility. If you are interested in joining our research group, please contact me directly.
In addition to the Department of Geosciences, I am affiliated with the Turkana Basin Institute. I am also a research associate at the University of Oxford (U.K.).
