CONFERENCES & SEMINARS

08/06/2026 – 11/06/2026 Bled, Slovenia
ChemCH 2026 – Chemistry for Cultural Heritage
I presented a poster detailing differences in spectral bands collected on paper objects from Klosterneuburg. The ER-FTIR was able to quickly see differences between proteinaceous sized paper and non-proteinaceous sized paper. This lead to the necessity to create a dual dating model. Initially when the dating was ran through a random forest algorithm a prediction for dates of paper production were ± 42 years, when separated into the distinct groups we found that the dates for protein sized paper was closer to ±20 years, and the non-protein sized paper was ±22 years.

18/03/2025 – 22/03/2025 Dresden, Germany
Archaeometry and Monument Preservation 2025 Annual conference for German Chemical Society.
I presented on some data I had collected for the purpose of leather dating. I was able to present accurate dates within 100 years, proving the validity of the model.

Studying Written Artefacts: Challenges and Perspectives
Recovering the Methodology and Materiality of the Books of Kosterneuburg Abbey. Bindings, Materials, and FTIR Spectra: The aim of this work is to systematically investigate the potential of infrared spectroscopy for the non-destructive dating of written materials, including their bindings. Using the External Reflectance (ER) module of the Bruker Alpha II Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) instrument and multivariate statistical analysis, a calibration set is developed using well-dated manuscripts. This work aims to demonstrate that the use of FTIR is a viable method for dating.
