Research

Our research ranges from fundamental research into the behaviour of materials and environments, development of methods and instruments, data science and visualisation, to development and policy support.

We have led EU collaborative projects focussed on the development of non-destructive characterisation of cultural heritage (SurveNIRPAPYLUM), and collaborated in projects on the development and evaluation of new conservation interventions (InkCorLaclepa) and preventive conservation strategies (APACHEPaperVOC).

Recently, our work has focused on the development of heritage science infrastructure (E-RIHS PP, Iperion HSE-RIHS.si) and new methods to be be offered to users in the future European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science, including its Slovenian node.

Our research has been continuously supported by Research Programme funding of the Slovenian Research Agency.

We have taken part in strategy development and advised various national and international bodies accordingly. Our early efforts resulted in co-coordination of the prestigious 8th EC Conference on Cultural Heritage Research in Ljubljana in 2008.

PhD and MSc projects

If you’re interested in a PhD with us, please do get in contact. We have a range of supervision expertise, from analytical chemistry and materials characterisation, to evaluation of conservation methods, data modelling and visualisation. Most PhD research projects are highly collaborative and you will develop a wide personal network internationally, helping you to jump-start a career in heritage science, or in any of the related fundamental science disciplines. All of our past PhD students work in industry, public institutions or academia, and many have continued to do research in collaboration with our Lab.
