I obtained my BA degree from Alexandria University, Egypt, Masters degree from Bologna University, and PhD from Siena University, Italy. I specialized in excavation and survey methodology. I taught at the American University in Cairo, as adjunct faculty, and at Alexandria University (Alexandria Center for Hellenistic Studies, Bibliotheca Alexandrina), and Catania University. I collaborate on different projects with Padua University, Tübingen University, CUNY, New York, and Siena University.
My main research interests are:
The archaeology of the Egyptian Delta and Fayoum
Living archaeology in Egypt: interaction between past and present
The economy of the Roman Empire: the Egyptian case
