Introduction Leo recently graduated from Trinity College Dublin where he was awarded an M.Phil in Classics. His thesis entitled "Colonialism, Looting & Repatriation in Egypt & Peru" was well received and he was asked to present his research at the 11th annual Current Research in Egyptology conference in the Netherlands. He has been published with papers such as "The Social & Political Reasons for Looting in Cambodia & Iraq" and "An Examination of the Iconographic Exchange Between the Aegean and Egypt in the Bronze Age". He earned a B.A in Ancient History, Archaeology & French from Trinity College Dublin in 2008. He became interested in looting and SAFE when travelling through Cambodia and witnessing the damage done to temples first hand. He has since done his own research in Thailand & Egypt.
