Sergio Alarcón Robledo joined the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization of Yale University in September 2025. He is a trained architect and archaeologist of Egypt, and advises students interested in bridging the sciences and the humanities.
Sergio’s main area of research is history of architecture, with a particular focus on the earliest developments of monumental architecture in Egypt. At Yale, Sergio is researching the necropolis of North Saqqara, through which he is investigating the entanglement of early Egyptian architectural and funerary practices.
Sergio studied architecture (MArch) at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, before moving to the University of Cambridge in 2015 for his masters (MPhil) in Egyptology. He also completed an MA in archaeology at the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology of UCLA in 2019, and received his PhD from Harvard University in 2025.
