Research Interests
Will is happy to discuss opportunities with any applicant with shared interests, particularly in relation to the archaeology of island cultures, how the past can be utilized to address contemporary challenges, and the role of technology (GIS, remote sensing, spatial analysis)]in doing so. He would be particularly keen to hear from students looking to explore collaborative programs which include professional practice.
