Core Expertise

As a Heritage Science Analyst, I develop advanced spectral unmixing techniques to non-invasively resolve layered paint stratigraphies in cultural artifacts, bridging hyperspectral imaging, chemometrics, and art historical research. My work enables precise pigment identification, restoration guidance, and forgery detection for murals, paintings, and polychrome sculptures.

Technical Capabilities

1. Spectral Deconvolution

  • Algorithm Development:

    • Created StratSpectra – A hybrid algorithm combining:

      • Sparse coding for pigment signature separation (endmember accuracy >95%)

      • Temporal decay models to distinguish original vs. restoration layers

    • Resolved sub-micron paint layers using synchrotron-based μ-XRF-HSI fusion

2. Multimodal Imaging Integration

  • Cross-Technique Fusion:

    • Correlated TERS (10nm resolution) with SWIR (1.4–3μm) to map organic binders

    • Developed 3D spectral rendering for virtual layer-by-layer artifact dissection

3. Applied Heritage Science

  • Restoration Ethics:

    • Established protocols for minimal-intervention cleaning based on spectral aging profiles

  • Authentication:

    • Detected 20th-century synthetic pigments "hidden" beneath Renaissance varnishes

Impact & Collaborations

  • Landmark Projects:

    • Lead scientist for Lascaux IV digital conservation initiative

    • Consulted on British Museum’s Assyrian relief re-restoration

  • Open Science:

    • Released PigmentLib – Open database of 1,200+ historical material spectra

Signature Innovations

  • Patent: Dynamic Spectral Unmixing for Overpainted Manuscripts (2025)

  • Publication: "Van Gogh’s Palette Revisited: Spectral Reconstruction of Evolving Pigment Mixtures" (Heritage Science, 2024)

  • Award: 2024 IIC Forbes Prize for Technical Art History

Optional Customizations

  • For Academia: "Discovered cadmium red degradation pathways in Matisse cut-outs"

  • For Museums: "Our system reduced analysis time by 70% for Vatican fresco projects"

  • For Media: "Featured in Netflix ‘Art Detective’ series (Season 3)"
