  • Ilaria Serafini

    6061b438-48ab-4fb5-8fd2-aa8b4ec6e2ce Ilaria Serafini Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Research fellow Museum Conservation Institute, Smithsonian Institution Maryland, USA Previous Next All members MEMBER INFORMATION Dr. Ilaria Serafini received her Ph.D. from Sapienza University of Rome with a thesis on the development of nanomaterials and new methodologies for the analysis of organic matrices in textiles, with a multi-technique approach. In her post doc also at Sapienza University, in the Analytical Chemistry group of Chemistry Department, worked on the development of analytical methods in LC-MS for the identification of diagnostic markers in complex natural matrices applied to the field of cultural heritage. Dr. Serafini is also the inventor of two patents, one in the field of cultural heritage, and is also the founder of the start-up Sapienza D-ART srl. In 2020, she was the winner of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Fellowship call, with a project on the development of new methodologies in the field of proteomics and dye analysis in extremely degraded archaeological artifacts, which took her for the last two years to the proteomics laboratory of the Museum Conservation Institute, Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. Ending the outgoing phase of the project in February 2024, Dr. Serafini took up her position as a Researcher Tenure track in the Department of Environmental Biology- Sapienza University in April 2024 and is working toward the conclusion of the Marie Curie project (January 2025). ABM CONFERENCES ABM 2023 Poster Presenter Dyes and proteins analysis in a unique workflow: a new methodology for archaeological textiles Explore Full Abstract ABM MEMBER EVENTS ABM Member Conversations - October 2024 Member Conversations Host Investigating Ancient Textiles - Where do you even start? How do you start investigating ancient textiles, when you are not even sure where to start? What kind of materials are they made from? Is there any information in those materials that would help identify a geographic place or date for the origin of the materials (if not the textiles themselves)? If the material is dyed--and many textile fragments are multi-colored--how could we test the dye? And, again, could the dye analysis give us any clues as to geography and chronology? Are there any tests or analytical procedures that can shed any light on the weaving or making process? If possible tests or procedures are known, how does one set up such tests? What is needed? Is sampling necessary? If so, what size would the samples need to be? What are the costs involved? Juliet and Ilaria will be holding an informal conversation touching on various topics of interest to both curators and scientists investigating ancient textiles. Explore PUBLICATIONS + PROJECTS
