UCL’s Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering in Arts Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA)

To summarise the centre’s research work, Josep Bau-Groves writes ‘“Can historic smells be reproduced in the laboratory? What happens to a cannon shot buried for centuries under the sea? How long will 3D printed materials last? These are some of the questions explored by students of the centre for doctoral training in Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA). Their research aims at developing scientific solutions to problems emerging from the arts and humanities. SEAHA students work in a great diversity of topics, using a wide range of scientific techniques, including accelerated ageing of artefacts, the micro-fading of surfaces, deformation tracking with high speed cameras, or the simulation of the lifetime of whole collections“. http://www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk for more info on the work of the Centre
