I received a Wingate Scholarship for my doctoral thesis on Mount Sinai in Egypt which was submitted to the School of Oriental and African Studies at the end of 2007. In 2004 two papers on a Bronze Age cemetery in Cyprus appeared at the Report of the Department of Antiquities, Cyprus. I contributed with articles and entries to the Imperial Treasures from China exhibition catalogue, National Gallery of Athens, 2004. I continue teaching Theory and Method of History of Art and Archaeology at SOAS and since 2005 I lecture on Byzantine Art and Ottoman Architecture at the British Museum Asian Art Diploma. In 2006 I curated the permanent exhibition at the Treasury of the Greek Cathedral of Saint Sophia, Bayswater, where I work as archivist. In June 2007 I led a British Museum study trip to Istanbul.
