About me
Silvia Russo received a BSc Degree in Chemistry at Sapienza University of Rome (2015, Italy), an MSc Degree in Science and Technologies for the Conservation and the Restoration of Cultural Heritage as part of the European Master Programme in Archaeological Material Science (2018), and a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of Neuchatel /Haute Ecole Arc CR in Switzerland (2022) as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow of the ITN-CHANGE Programme. Passionate about conservation science, she trained in several analytical and imaging techniques, chemometrics, and developed skills in the study of heritage objects and their degradation processes in multiple European Institutions (e.g., the Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio delle Marche (Italy, 2016), The British Museum (UK, 2017), The Rijksmuseum (The Netherlands, 2020) and the C2RMF (France, 2021)). In 2019, she participated in the development of nanoscaled treatments for the conservation of metal and stone objects at the University of L'Aquila (Italy). Silvia is currently an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Conservation Science at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and The Menil Collection.
