I studied History of Art and Archaeology at the University of Paris (Paris IV-Sorbonne) where I obtained a B.A. (Maîtrise) in 1990 and a Master's degree (D.E.A.) in 1992. From 1992 to 1998 I enrolled in doctoral studies at the Graduate Group of Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology of the University of California at Berkeley. I obtained my Ph.D. in 1998 with a dissertation on the topography of the territory of ancient Sikyon. During 1995-1996 I was a regular member at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and in 1998-1999 I served as visiting assistant professor in Classical archaeology at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). In 2002 I joined the teaching staff of the department of History, Archaeology and Social Anthropology of the University of Thessaly. I have participated in a number of archaeological field projects in Attica, Crete, Corinth, Nemea, Stymphalos as well in the Etruscan town of Musarna in central Italy. Since 2004 I have been directing the Sikyon archaeological project, and from 2018 onwards I co-direct the Greek-Dutch excavations at Magoula Plataniotiki in the plain of Almyros (Thessaly).

I am the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, including the Jacob Hirsch fellowship in 2002-2003 (American School of Classical Studies), a Margo Tytus fellowship in 2006-2007 (University of Cincinnati), and a Samuel H. Kress Grant for Research and Publication in Classical Art and Architecture (Archaeological Institute of America) for publication of the results of the urban survey of Sikyon. In 2011-2012 I was nominated as Samuel H. Kress Lecturer in Ancient Art for the Archaeological Institute of America. I am a corresponding member of the Archaeological Institute of America (since 2014) and of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens (since 2021).

My research interests include landscape archaeology, ancient Sikyon, Greek and Roman architecture, and the archaeology of the Hellenistic and Roman cities. I have published two monographs, one on the Land of Sikyon (Hesperia supplement 39, Princeton 2011) and another on the Via Egnatia – one of the most important Roman highways east of the Adriatic Sea (Olkos publisher, Athens 2008). In addition, I have edited and co-authored the two-volume publication of the results of Sikyon’s urban survey (Sikyon I: The Urban Survey, Meletemata 82, Greek National Research Foundation 2021) as well as numerous articles on accredited journals, collective volumes and proceedings of conferences. I have also built and regularly update the bilingual website for the Sikyon Project: http://extras.ha.uth.gr/sikyon.
