Personal Statement
I work in the field of functional and evolutionary anatomy, using novel imaging, computational methods, and experimental models to investigate phenotypic plasticity and integration of the mammalian skull, ranging from structural mechanics to the competing spatial requirements and functional demands of various soft-tissue modules (e.g. sense organs, brain, and masticatory musculature). The primary objective is to refine taxonomic, behavioural, biomechanical and ecological interpretations of extinct species with applications within the preclinical and clinical veterinary and human sciences.
