His work centers on the lifecourse of urbanism in the Eurasian steppe and Central Europe in the Bronze and Iron Ages. His particular focus is on how urban centers breakdown and how such events are mediated through reuse of the landscape and continued use of material traditions. He received his PhD from the University of Pittsburgh in 2014, where his doctoral research centered on how pastoral communities disintegrated but during population dispersal began to use historical capital (pottery traditions) as a tool for social and political legitimation.view less
