Research Topics

My interests broadly cover human variation and functional morphology in both modern, and historical contexts. For my master’s project, I conducted a radiographic study of juvenile femora to derive regression formulae for statue and body mass estimates. My dissertation project employs geometric morphometrics to explore the purported relationship between subsistence and weaning practices, craniomandibular morphology, and occlusal patterns in modern clinical populations, and pre-industrial populations.
