His dissertation focused on the integration of different field techniques (excavation, survey, GPR, GPS, aerial photography,…) within a Geographical Information Systems (GIS). He then specialized in land-surveying at IEPSCF-Namur (Belgium).

He started as student in 2007 at Sissi and is still in the project today. He worked 8 year as a professional topographer for 3 international companies in Luxemburg and Belgium.

Nicolas has participated in excavations at Sissi (2007-today), at Palaikastro (2014), Pyla (2014-today), Al-Ghat in Saudi Arabia (2012&2014). On the field, he is at once archaeologist, topographer, and responsible for the aerial pictures with the drone.
