About Agnes

I am currently an MA student (Archaeology and Heritage of Asia) at UCL.

My research mainly focuses on the mural paintings of Buddhist cave sites and the material culture along the ancient Silk Roads. I am also interested in discussing the early development of archaeology in Hong Kong.
