Will Noel
Eureka! The Archimedes Palimpsest
http://ignitebaltimore.com/speakers/46

For the last ten years a project based at The Walters Art Museum has been trying to read texts that were erased in 1229AD. The texts are treatises by Archimedes that survive nowhere else in the world. We have used advanced imaging techniques to do this, including multi-spectral imaging and X-ray flourescence imaging, and are now publishing our results that btransform our understanding of Archimedes as the father of modern science.

About Will Noel:
Will Noel is the Curator of Manuscripts at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore and Director of the Archimedes Palimpsest project. Before that he was Assistant Curator of manuscripts at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Calfornia. He comes from Cambridge in England, and enjoys sailing on the Bay.
