About
Dr. Tabea Siebrecht is a pioneering figure in the non-invasive analysis of cultural heritage, whose work bridges terahertz (THz) physics and archaeology. Her primary research focuses on developing advanced imaging techniques—particularly robotic THz systems—for the sub-surface examination of ancient artifacts and human remains. In her landmark 2019 study, she demonstrated the first application of a robotic THz imaging system to analyze an artificially mummified ancient Egyptian hand, achieving over 75 citations. This work revealed hidden structural details beneath the surface without damaging the specimen, offering a powerful complement to conventional CT and micro-CT scans. By proving that robotic THz technology can penetrate and map layered materials in mummified tissue, Siebrecht opened new avenues for studying fragile, irreplaceable objects. Her contributions are reshaping how researchers approach conservation and forensic archaeology, providing a non-contact, high-resolution tool for uncovering secrets sealed within ancient remains. For students and scholars, her work exemplifies how cutting-edge engineering can unlock the past while preserving it for future generations.
