My work in the Cultural Sector straddles two continents and spans twenty six years. As Archaeologist in the Hellenic Ministry of Culture (1992-93, 1996-97), Research Assistant at the British Museum (1994), Robinson Scholar at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge (1998), and Keeper of Coins at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham (2000-2016) I have been a passionate advocate of the preservation and presentation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and of related digital heritage initiatives. In my current capacity, I serve on the Board of the Mary Jaharis Center for Byzantine Art and Culture; the Sardis Oversight Committee at Harvard; the Editorial Board of the Harvard Digital Atlas of the Roman and Medieval Civilizations; and the Expert Panel of the UK Money and Medals Network.
