Michalis Constantinou is a Research Technical Scientist in 3D Documentation at the Science and Technology in Archaeology and Culture Research Center (STARC) of the Cyprus Institute. He holds a Diploma in Architecture from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and a Master of Conservation of Monuments and Sites, from the Katholieke Universiteit of Leuven, in Belgium.
During his Master's degree, he also completed an internship at the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles, where he was a member of the ‘’Nea Paphos Conservation and Management Project’’ team, primarily focusing on studying the Underground Chambers of the Archaeological Site.
At The Cyprus Institute, he focuses on the 3D documentation of heritage assets, including Monuments, Archaeological Sites, and Artifacts, addressing issues of cultural heritage conservation, preservation, and valorisation through digital technologies. His role involves using data capture technologies, such as laser scanners, optical scanners, photogrammetry, and related software. Beyond fieldwork and data acquisition, he focuses on 3D data post-processing. This encompasses shape and geometry analysis, feature extraction, 3D modeling, and use of web-based 3D viewers.
