Remarkable double whammy by our alumnus Antonio Iacoviello! Congratulations!
Delighted to share I’ve been awarded both a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship. My project explores crowns in ancient Greece as material agents and symbols across multiple domains. Can’t wait to get started!
