Other information

My teaching purpose is to guide digital natives in their evolution from simple consumers of technology to creators of digital content. My main concern is to bring the opposites together: to put technology at the service of heritage, to combine ancient execution techniques with numerical control... Perhaps the most conclusive example in this sense is my doctoral thesis, which founded the "Digital Model of the Orthodox cult building".
