My research is centered on understanding economic, cultural and social interaction in and around the ancient Mediterranean. I am interested in the use of material evidence, particularly ceramics, to study Mediterranean trade and the effect of social and political change on systems of exchange. 

 I am currently working to study the ceramic table vessels from Hellenistic Harbor at Akko and the ancient city of Daphne (modern Harbiye, Turkiye). I also serve as an editorial intern for the Levantine Ceramics Project, an open-access database for the digital publication of ceramic data from the Levant. I have participated in fieldwork at a variety of sites in Israel, including the underwater survey and excavation projects at Tel Dor and Caesarea Maritima. In summer 2022, I joined the Marzamemi Maritime Heritage Project in Southeastern Sicily.
