I am an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of the Built Heritage, University of Malta where I teach and co-coordinate the newly established MSc in Conservation of Decorative Architectural Surfaces. I trained as a paintings conservator at the Istituto Centrale per il Restauro (Rome), where I also gained a specialization in Stone Conservation in 1993. After working as a paintings and stone conservator in Italy and Canada, I joined the Malta Centre for Restoration (MCR) in 1999 where I stayed until 2002 as co-ordinator of the Paintings Conservation Division, and lecturer in Wall Painting Conservation. Between 2002-4 I read for a MPhil degree at the University of Malta on the deterioration and conservation of an oil painting on stone by Giuseppe Calì. Since then I continued working as a conservator until I joined the University of Malta in 2009 as Project Assistant for a EU project dealing with youth and conservation of the built heritage. I became Assistant Lecturer in 2012, and I am currently reading for a PhD degree at the Wall Painting Conservation Department, Courtauld Institute of Art (London) where I study the technology of Maltese wall paintings and its implications for conservation.
