Research interests
I am currently postdoctoral researcher in Biological Anthropology and Data Science. I have an interest in the study of human skeletal variation, functional morphology and biomechanics. I am also interested in the adoption of multidisciplinary approaches and the implementation of innovative methods. This includes the intersection of computational imaging and data science with biological anthropology and osteoarchaeology.
