His main interests are noninvasive prospecting applied to cultural heritage, inversion approaches applied to GPR data, reconfigurable stepped frequency GPR systems, and TDR probes. He chaired the 13th International GPR Conference in 2010 and was publication chair of the 15th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium in 2015. He is president of the Italian Association of the GPR. Dr. Salvatore Piro is a research director in the Institute for Technologies Applied to Cultural Heritage. From 2012 until present, he has been a professor of applied geophysics at the Earth Science Department of Sapienza University of Rome. His research interests include the acquisition and processing of integrated geophysical methods for near surface investigations. He is a member of SEG, EAGE, Near Surface Geophysics, EGU, EEGS, and ISAP. He is also Associate Editor of the journals Near Surface Geophysics, Archaeological Prospection, International Journal of Geophysics, and Journal of Archaeology. Dr. Neil Linford is the senior geophysicist within Historic England’s Geophysics Team and provides advice on the use of geophysical methods within the historic environment, including field survey and application to standing buildings. His research interests include the use of multichannel ground penetrating radar, environmental magnetism, and high-sensitivity cesium magnetometer surveys, and he is currently an editor of the journal Archaeological Prospection.
