Gavriela Logothetou, PhD Candidate, Laboratory of Archaeometry (University of the Peloponnese)
Gavriela Logothetou is a PhD candidate at the Laboratory of Archaeometry at the University of the Peloponnese. She studied Chemistry at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and completed her BSc in Science for the Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage at the University of Bologna. Her research focuses on the archaeometallurgical characterization of oxidized metal artifacts from the Early to Late Byzantine period in the Peloponnese, utilizing both conventional and non-conventional (e.g., TEM) analytical techniques and data science. Her aim is to trace trade influences and technological developments of ancient metalworking practices in the Peloponnese across this timeline. Recently, she is also applying electron-microscopic techniques for the archaeomagnetic dating of ancient ceramics at the nanoscale.
