My research focuses on the application of geophysics approaches to the spatial organization of settlements, especially ancient cities. My recent projects include a study of city planning at Middle Bronze Age Kurd Qaburstan, Iraq, and Iron Age Tell es-Safi, Israel. I have conducted fieldwork in Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and U.S.A.
