In 2010 he was elected a member of the Society of Antiquaries of London . From 2014 to 2015 he renewed the museum's “Classical World” permanent exhibition. The basis of this redesign was the topic of "Greeks in context", the interactions, influences and inspirations between Greek culture and the cultures of neighboring civilizations in the Mediterranean region. His main areas of activity are the material culture of Greece, Etruria and the Roman Empire, the history of building archaeological collections and museum studies.
