About
Dr. Alexandra Vonkilch is a leading figure in archaeological geophysics, renowned for pioneering high-resolution ground-penetrating radar (GPR) methodologies. Her primary research focuses on advancing near-surface geophysical prospection techniques to non-invasively map buried cultural heritage. Her most influential work, "Large‐area high‐resolution ground‐penetrating radar measurements for archaeological prospection" (2018, 128 citations), revolutionized field practice by demonstrating how multi-channel GPR arrays can achieve unprecedented spatial sampling and data quality over vast landscapes—transforming traditional single-channel, labor-intensive surveys into efficient, large-scale operations. This contribution has become a cornerstone for modern archaeological remote sensing, enabling the detailed visualization of entire ancient settlements without excavation. Dr. Vonkilch’s innovations have profoundly impacted heritage management and archaeological interpretation, providing a scalable, high-resolution window into the subsurface. Her work is widely cited by geophysicists and archaeologists alike, cementing her reputation as a key innovator in the integration of engineering and archaeology for cultural preservation.
