- Profile
IoA involvement:
Carl is co-supervising an AHRC CDP student with colleagues at the UCL IoA. He is Director of Scientific Research at the British Museum where he leads a team of scientists. Together they co-ordinate all aspects of scientific research undertaken on the collection. Carl’s research interests span molecular and isotopic approaches applied to archaeological materials. Carl has regular discussions with researchers at the IoA on a number of areas of mutual interest.
