Research
My latest research project involves the development of methods, tools,
and reference data to use geometric morphometrics to characterize
unidentified human remains. This work is in collaboration with Ann Ross
at North Carolina State University and the University of Florida's C.
A. Pound Human Identification Lab. It is funded by the U.S. National
Institute of Justice.
My other research includes the development of biofidelic head models
for engineering studies and the modeling of age- and disease-related
changes in the geometry of the human thorax.
In addition, I am involved in many collaborative projects with
students and researchers in the fields of forensics, physical and
paleo- anthropology, vertebrate biology, and entomology.
