In the continuation of his doctorate defended in 2009 at the University of Paris III under the direction of Michel Jacq-Hergoualc’h, Dominique Soutif pursues research on the religious and profane organization of Preangkorian and Angkorian sanctuaries by comparing epigraphic and archaeological sources.
In addition to his activities within the Khmer Inscriptions Corpus program (inventory, reading and translation of inscriptions in Old Khmer), he co-directs two archaeological research programmes directly linked to his work (Yaśodharāśrama; Two Buddhist Towers) and is associated with several other research programmes devoted in particular to the study of materials and technical productions from ancient Cambodia (Cerangkor, Irangkor, etc.).
In the framework of the ERC DHARMA, he is responsible of the Corpus des Inscriptions Khmères (CIK) and co-director of the Yaśodharāśrama archaeological research Program.
