In 2019, she obtained a PhD in Chemistry & Biol- ogy with a research in the cultural heritage field, focused on the characterisation of natural historical dyes used in painting and textile dyeing. These studies are performed with a non-invasive approach through spectroscopic techniques such as Fibre Optic Reflectance Spectroscopy (FORS) and Fluorescence Spectroscopy, and with micro-invasive analysis such as Raman Spectroscopy and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. Matthew Collins Professor Matthew Collins holds a Niels Bohr Chair at the Statens Naturhistoriske Mu- seum, Copenhagen and the McDonald Chair in Palaeoproteomics at the University of Cambridge. His research explores the processes by which proteins undergo decay and how we can exploit new palaeoproteomics methods in the service of palaeontology, archaeology and cultural heritage. He set up BioArCh and the interdisciplinary research centre in Bi- ology, Archaeology and Chemistry at the University of York (BioArCh). Two years ago, he joined Tom Gilberts’ Evogenomics Group at the Natural History Museum in Copenhagen where, together with Erico Cappellini, he is trying to establish a research group developing the new field of Palaeoproteomics. He has now taken 40 % McDonald Chair in palaeo- proteomics at the University of Cambridge, commuting between there and Copenhagen.

Since 2005, he is Assistant Professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. He was educated in electrical engineering and studied physics at TU Wien. In 1986, he joined the University of Applied Arts Vienna, lecturing colour theory and scientific methods for the investigation of objects of art. He is an expert in scanning electron microscopy for the investigation of objects of art and ther- moluminescence dating of ceramic objects. Contact: AProf. Dipl.-Ing.
