I am a professor of Archaeology at the New Bulgarian University. I obtained my PhD degree at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. My scientific interest focuses on prehistoric lithic tools in southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. I have studied and published the lithic artefacts from the Bronze Age layers of Troia, the Neolithic site Aşaği Pinar, Barcın Höyük and others in Turkey, the Copper Age tell site Pietrele in Romania and the Neolithic site Aruhlo in Georgia, Mikro Vouni on the island of Samothrace in Greece and lots of prehistoric settlements in Bulgaria. I have supervised a number of PhD thesis on various topics. 

I am a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute and a member of the Society for American Archaeology.

When I don’t work, I read and watch history documentaries esp. on World Wars I and II as well as critical works on totalitarian regimes.
