Introduction
PhD, experience in the analysis of ancient paintings using Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) Imaging. Building of a spectral database of reference compounds likely to be found in such samples and investigating some of their alteration or interaction between each other.
Application to various cross sections of ancient paintings.

Some objects found in the collections suffer degradation or are expected to require conservation restoration treatments. To avoid or slow down these processes, it is crucial to identify the nature of the involved materials.
ESPyON is a joint research project, involving conservators and scientific laboratoires, to built a database specifically aimed...
L’objectif de la thèse était d’évaluer le potentiel de l’imagerie TOF-SIMS, notamment 3D, pour étudier la composition chimique de façon fiable sur des coupes stratigraphiques de peintures anciennes.
L’imagerie TOF-SIMS peut cartographier simultanément les matières organiques et inorganiques à l’échelle micrométrique, répondant à des questions sur...
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) imaging is a surface analysis technique that identifies and spatially resolves the chemical composition of a sample with a lateral resolution of less than 1 μm. Depth analyses can also be performed over thicknesses of several microns. In the case of a painting cross section, for example, TOF...
The material evidence for the wax finish on ancient marble statues, known as ganosis, is scarce and controversial, although Greek and Latin sources describe the recipes and cultural value of this treatment. The surface treatment of a colossal Roman head from the Roman theatre of Dougga (Tunisia), dated to the end of the second century CE, is studie...
The two paintings Infant Bacchanals (Museo Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Palazzo Barberini, Rome, Italy) executed by Nicolas Poussin (Les Andelys, 1594-Rome, 1665) in around 1626 are thought to have been painted "a guazzo", which means either with a glue or with an egg binding medium. To date, this has never been confirmed through analysis. Dual-beam ti...
