Dr Arianna Traviglia is the Coordinator of the IIT Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology (CCHT). Dr Traviglia’s work is placed at the intersection of technology and humanities and most of her research focuses on mediating the inclusion of digital practices within the study and management of cultural heritage. Her expertise lies mainly in multi and hyperspectral image processing (close and far range) for the analysis of cultural landscape and material culture.

Lecturer in 'Computing Applications to Archaeology and Cultural Heritage' and in 'Computational Thinking' at the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice from 2003 to 2018, she held parallel positions as Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Sydney and Macquarie University-Sydney from 2006 to 2015. She re-entered European academia in 2015 as the recipient of an H2020 Marie Curie Fellowship, held until 2018 when she undertook the role of Coordinator of the CCHT. 

She is or has been the Coordinator, Principal Investigator, or Co-Investigator of several projects funded by the European Commission and centered around the use of digital technologies for cultural heritage analysis and protection (NETCHER, REPAIR, GoGreen, BoSS, OPTIMAL, RUTE, RITHMS), PI of projects funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) focused on the use of satellite imagery and AI for detecting buried archaeological sites or instances of archaeological looting (CLS, ALCEO) and PI of projects funded by national Italian agencies (CTE-Genova).
Dr. Traviglia has been part of the Executive Steering Committee of the International Computer Application and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) association and its Publication Officer from 2014 to 2022. She has chaired the 41st International Computer Applications in Archaeology Conference (CAA2013 Perth, Across Space and Time), co-organised the 2016 International Congress of Underwater Archaeology(IKUWA 6), and the 2018 International Aerial Archaeology Group (AARG) conference. She has also been involved in organising sessions and serving on scientific committees for several conferences focused on digital cultural heritage.

She has been the co-Editor of the Journal of Computer Application in Archaeology (JCAA) from its inception to 2022.

In 2021, she was awarded the ‘Techno-visionary Woman’ prize, listed among Forbes Italy’s 100 Successful Women, and received the ‘Innovation Leader Award’ from ANGI. 


Since 2021, she is an Expert Collaborator of the Council of Europe and chairs the Technical-Scientific Committee of the Cassa Depositi and Prestiti Foundation, Italy.
