Nicholas Brown

Nicholas Brown is an Egyptologist who was born and raised in California. After earning his bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology from UCSB in 2011, Nicholas moved to Cairo, Egypt to study at the American University in Cairo. Once Nicholas finished with a master’s degree in Egyptology, he continued to live and work in Egypt as a free-lance archaeologist. His excavation experience includes working at numerous archaeological sites throughout Egypt (such as at Elephantine Island, Wadi el-Hudi and Deir el-Ballas), as well as funerary sites at Luxor, Amarna and Tombos, Sudan. In 2016, Nicholas spent the summer working at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston as the Terrace Curatorial Research Associate in Egyptology. After living in Cairo for five years, Nicholas was accepted to the NELC department at UCLA in 2017. However, Nicholas has been associated with UCLA for some time: his first archaeological field school was with the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology in 2011, and in 2013 he was a visiting graduate student in the NELC department.
