Myrsini Samaroudi is a Research Fellow at the University of Brighton within the School of Architecture, Technology and Engineering, actively contributing to the Computing and Mathematical Sciences Research Excellence Group. She holds an Associate Fellowship of Higher Education (Advance HE) and maintains an ORCID profile reflecting her interdisciplinary work at the intersection of technology and cultural heritage.
Her academic qualifications include:
- PhD in Digital Heritage/Digital Humanities from the University of Brighton (2016-2021)
- MSc in Cultural Informatics and Communication from the University of the Aegean (2003-2005)
- BSc in History and Archaeology (specialisation in Archaeology) from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1997-2002)
Dr. Samaroudi's research pioneers advanced digital methodologies for cultural heritage management, with particular emphasis on 3D printing applications for tangible/intangible heritage preservation, AI-driven interpretation systems, and immersive audience engagement strategies. Her work bridges archaeological practice with cutting-edge computational techniques, focusing on ethical implementation and user-centered evaluation of digital heritage solutions across museum and GLAM contexts.
Analysis of her 2024-2025 publications reveals strong thematic convergence around accessible heritage technologies, with significant contributions in tactile reproduction for visually impaired audiences, AI classification of cultural archives, and copyright frameworks for 3D heritage data. These works demonstrate consistent innovation in translating digital fabrication and machine vision into practical museum interpretation tools while addressing critical infrastructure gaps in digital humanities research.
Her professional recognition includes:
- Associate Fellow of Higher Education (Advance HE), awarded June 2024
With extensive experience spanning field archaeology in Greece, museum curation, and industry project management, Dr. Samaroudi has developed specialized expertise in heritage data ethics, digital curation, and technology integration. Her collaborative research projects—examining post-pandemic heritage impacts, children's wellbeing through digital play, and intangible craft documentation—highlight her commitment to socially relevant applications despite limited public grant details. She actively translates research into practice through CPD sessions and academic instruction on digital heritage methodologies.
As a core member of Brighton's Computing and Mathematical Sciences Research Excellence Group, she drives interdisciplinary initiatives that position digital heritage as a critical nexus between computational innovation and cultural preservation, with emerging focus on AI ethics and community-driven data infrastructure development.
