Dr. Aviva Ruth Burnstock (born 1 May 1959)[1] is Head of the Department of Conservation & Technology at the Courtauld Institute, London. Burnstock is a graduate of the University of Sussex (BSc. Neurobiology 1981) and took her PhD at the Courtauld Institute.[2]

Burnstock was one of the team that confirmed that The Procuress in the Courtauld's collection, a version of a 1622 work by Dirck van Baburen now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, was a modern forgery by Han van Meegeren.[3][4]
