Dr. Philip Sapirstein received his doctorate in Art History and Archaeology from Cornell University (2008), and from 2013–19 he was an Assistant Professor in the School of Art, Art History & Design at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His primary interests are the history of art and architecture of the Mediterranean, in particular that of ancient Greece, Rome, and the Near East. Digital techniques for the 3D recording and analysis of ancient art and architecture, including photogrammetry, comprise another important area of research.

Dr. Sapirstein has held numerous prestigious fellowships (e.g., from the NEH, ACLS, Mellon, Fulbright Foundation, and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens) and has published widely on both the history and technology of Greek architecture and digital methodologies.
