His current research focuses on conflict resolution and he is always excited to share his newest findings.

Robert moved to Barcelona two years ago following on from his Masters in History at The University of Lancaster. His research focus has led him to consider our ways of discussing relationships between individuals and groups, the past and present, the real and imagined, in order to promote and provoke serious discussion. Robert's enchantment with Barcelona as a palimpsest is what drives his exploration of its history and distinct character. His teaching work has deepened his appreciation of the role of student as well as teacher, another key interest for Robert.

A native of Ireland, Killian has a master's in archaeology from the National University of Ireland, Galway and a doctorate (PhD) in archaeology from University College Dublin, Ireland. Killian is a former fellow at the University of Barcelona, where he moved to in 2011. His area of specialism is prehistoric archaeology - hunter-gatherers, and early farming (Neolithic) communities. Killian also has a broad interest in more ‘recent’ history and archaeology, from the Roman, medieval, and modern periods, in particular the evolution of urbanism and cities, and the interplay between town and country life.
