About
My primary interest is hominin skeletal morphology, and in particular post-cranial variation. Undergraduate and early Masters research in kinesiology and physiology developed into a passion for understanding hominin evolution. My MPhil and PhD, undertaken at the University of Cambridge, focused on the correspondence between athletic activity patterns and skeletal variation in humans. Previous post-doctoral research at The Department of Anthropology and The Center for Quantitative Imaging, The Pennsylvania State University, assessed both cortical and trabecular bone morphology in humans and non-human primates, and asks how morphology is influenced by general activity patterns. At present, I am involved in research projects with colleagues in the UK, France, USA, and Papua New Guinea.
