Michael Frim studies Celtic Civilisation at University College Cork. He graduated from Harvard with degrees in Archaeology and Physics. He was a student board member of Harvard Hillel. He has spent many summers as a sailing instructor at Northwestern University Sailing Center, teaching children and adults. As part of Harvard’s Doyle Lab, he conducted research in the field of AMO physics (atomic, molecular, and optical physics) with a focus on using molecular spectroscopy to develop future molecular laser-cooling mechanisms. He designed a computer algorithm for the analysis of experimental data. The research ultimately led him to co-author a piece in Nature Chemistry. Volunteering at Harvard Museums of Science and Culture, Michael introduced children and adults to the field of archaeology. His interest in archaeology was inspired by his interest in the timeless nature of place. His introduction to the languages and literature of medieval Ireland and Wales led to a deep interest in Celtic archaeology. He previously participated in an excavation in County Meath, Ireland, home to some of the most significant prehistoric monuments on the island, including Newgrange and the Hill of Tara. He was involved in the dig of the Black Friary, a 13th-century Dominican friary in the town of Trim. He learned archaeological excavation techniques, including stratigraphic analysis and ethical practices for the treatment of archaeological human remains. He also aided in preparing finds for storage in the National Museum of Ireland’s archives.
