Research Interests

Aaron has wide ranging research interests related to the scientific analysis of art and archaeology.  He has ongoing research towards the development of non-destructive techniques of analysis including X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), fibre optic reflectance spectroscopy (FORS), hyperspectral imaging, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy.  Aaron ongoing research interests include historic artist카지노 게임 컬렉션s pigments and their degradation pathways, and inorganic material sciences as applied toward the study of ancient metallurgy, ceramics, glazes, glasses.  He also is interested in the technical history of artifacts and their manufacturing processes. 

Biography

Aaron received his honours H.B.A. in Anthropology and Law & Society from York 카지노게임사이트 and his M.S. in Archaeological Materials from The 카지노게임사이트 of Sheffield. Aaron received his Ph.D. in Archaeometallurgy from 카지노게임사이트 College London.  He co-directed the Archaeometallurgy Laboratory at Lehigh 카지노게임사이트, was a guest scientist at NIST, and a research associate at the Smithsonian Institution.  He serves on the Scientific Vetting Committee for TEFAF and as a forensic materials export for the Court of Arbitration for Art.  Aaron was the Mellon Foundation Professor in Conservation Science at Buffalo State 카지노게임사이트, and he is currently the Bader Chair in Art Conservation at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트.
