Professor Belinda ColstonProfessor of Analytical Chemistry & Cultural Heritage By understanding mechanisms of degradative processes and kinetics of historic material decay, new analytical tools can be developed, and new conservation materials designed, to contribute to the sustainability of our cultural heritage. |
|
|
Professor Mark SeawardHonorary Professor of Cultural Heritage Research interests lie in the biomonitoring of the environment, particularly of air pollution, and in the biodeterioration of stonework, including monuments and works of art. |
|
|
Dr Ron DixonReader in Biomedical Science Research interests lie in the study of ancient DNA and palaeomicrobiology, with particular interest in the diagnosis of ancient infections. |
 |
Dr Graham LappinReader in Pharmacy School of Pharmacy Research interests lie in innovative radiocarbon dating methods, coupling accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) techniques with analytical chemistry. AMS is carried out in collaboration with the Universities of Uppsala in Sweden and Zürich in Switzerland. |
 |
Dr Adrian GoodmanSenior Lecturer in Biology Interests lie in the mechanical analysis of biological materials and the degradation and mechanical testing of historic and archaeological specimens. |
 |
Dr Lynda SkipperLecturer in Conservation & Restoration Lincoln School of Art and Design Research interests encompass how science can be used to aid our understanding of conservation. Current projects include characterisation of historic pigments, and investigation of the effects of bacterial growth on deterioration of historic stonework. |
