Short biography
He is a predoctoral student since February 2024 in the project SPEGEOCHERT under the direction of Marta Sánchez de la Torre of the University of Barcelona and François-Xavier Le Bourdonnec of the University Bordeaux-Montaigne. His research focuses on developing new methodologies for chert sourcing using X-ray fluorescence and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy. Interested in lithic sourcing using Archaeometric methods. He has worked on the sourcing of chlorite, obsidian and chert during and after his masters at Archeosciences Bordeaux (2021-2023).
