What Lies Beneath: Tales from the UCL Multi-modal Digitisation Suite - Dr Kathryn E. Piquette

In this presentation, Kathryn will discuss some of the work she is doing in the UCL Multi-Modal Digitisation Suite -- a shared facility for teaching and research in digitisation technologies. She will focus on the advanced imaging techniques of Multispectral Imaging and Reflectance Transformation Imaging and share some of the particularly interesting results emerging from her research and selected projects with UCL Advanced Imaging consultants (UCLAiC). She will showcase the ways in which advanced digital imaging can shed light on the life histories of ancient documentary evidence and the materiality of text and image. Kathryn will also highlight how her research and consulting inform her teaching in the areas of digitisation and digital heritage management. Kathryn Piquette is a Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Information Studies and freelance Senior Researcher in Cultural Heritage Imaging with the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities. In addition to receiving her PhD (2007) and MA (2002), both from the UCL Institute of Archaeology in Egyptology, she specialises in computational imaging techniques including Reflectance Transformation Imaging and Multispectral Imaging. She contributes to teaching for the MA in Digital Humanities as well as provides consulting services through UCL Advanced Imaging Consultants (UCLAiC). In addition to being a founding member of the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities (2010), she has held post-doctoral positions at the Cologne Center for eHumanities (CCeH); Freie Universität Berlin, the University of Oxford, and Trinity College Dublin. Her academic research focusses on Egyptian and Near Eastern writing and art, and the development and application of advanced imaging techniques for the elucidation of 'visual' culture from wider ancient world and beyond. Her publications include the eBook "An Archaeology of Art and Writing: Early Egyptian labels in context" with supporting database (2018, Modern Academic Publishing) the co-edited Open Access volume "Writing as Material Practice: Substance, surface and medium" (2013, Ubiquity Press). Further publications are available to download via Academia.edu.
