Service & Affiliations

Sudan Archaeological Society in Berlin

I am executive secretary (Geschäftsführer) of the Sudanarchäologische Gesellschaft zu Berlin e. V., which works to preserve the monuments of the Middle Nile Valley, above all at Musawwarat es-Sufra, and to make the cultural heritage of Sudan publicly known. It publishes Der Antike Sudan (MittSAG) and holds the Fritz Hintze Lecture and the Berlin Sudan Day each year.

Professional memberships

Member of the International Association of Egyptologists and of the Verband der Ägyptologie e. V..

Digital infrastructure

I initiated the migration of the UCLA Encyclopedia of Egyptology to the Open Encyclopedia System and keep the parties involved talking to one another. The move will restore the encyclopedia’s original functionality as a wiki.

For several years I kept the department’s student representation running, and served a term on its budget committee.
