Authors and co-authors 341 heritage inorganic materials, in particular pigments, metals, glasses and enamels. She re- ceived her Master’s Degree in Science and Technology applied to Cultural Heritage in 2009 from the Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy, and obtained her PhD in Chemical and Materials Science in 2015. Her field of expertise includes the use of X-ray Fluores- cence, X-ray Diffraction and SEM/EDX, and she has a key interest in non-invasive tech- niques, specifically p-XRF and Raman Spectroscopy. Sarah Fiddyment Dr Sarah Fiddyment received her BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Zaragoza, having completed three years of medical school and two years specialization in Biochemis- try. Her MSc and subsequent PhD were both completed at the same university, working in the field of proteomics in cardiovascular research. She then completed a Marie Curie post- doctoral research fellowship at the University of York, focusing on biomolecular analysis of parchment through history. During this time she developed a non-invasive sampling tech- nique that has allowed her unprecedented access to thousands of parchment documents, helping to establish the emerging field of biocodicology. She continued this work during a subsequent a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship. She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate on the Beasts 2 Craft ERC project at the McDonald Institute for Ar- chaeological Research, University of Cambridge.

In 1996, she was employed by the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, to set up the Conserva- tion Science Department for assisting the Conservation Departments of the museum with scientific information. Today she is Head of the Conservation Science Department and deals mainly with investigations of the painting techniques and alterations of old master paintings and polychrome sculptures, the identification of corrosion products on metal objects, the development of new conservation treatments, and the preventive conservation measures within the museum’s collections. Since 1999, she is a lecturer at the University of Applied Arts, Institute of Conservation and Restoration, Vienna.
