CAHS Seminar - Monday 2 July 2012, 12:30, HYMS 2nd Floor Meeting Room - Dr Stanislav Katina - "Recent developments in 2D/3D geometric morphometrics: shape analysis of landmarks, curves, and surfaces on human face”
Dr Stanislav Katina is a Docent (Associate Professor) in mathematics, probability, and mathematical statistics and specialises in shape and image analysis, multivariate statistical modelling and visualisation, and design of biological and anthropological research (http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/mathematicsstatistics/staff/stanislavkatina/). He is currently working as research associate at the School of Mathematics and Statistics The University of Glasgow (Face 3D project, funded by Welcome Trust) and is also a visiting professor of anthropology at the Institute of Anthropology (Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic) and visiting professor of statistics at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia).

Dr Tracy Kivell - "The hand of Australopithecus sediba: grasping trees and tools?"
Dr Matthew Skinner - "Three ways internal tooth structures are improving our understanding of human evolution."
Dr Tracy Kivell is a Junior Researcher in the Deptartment of Human Evolution at Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. She is a palaeoanthropologist who studies the evolution of hand morphology in fossil and living primates. Her latest work has focused on the new fossil hominin remains of Australopithecus sediba from South Africa and she works with Dr Matthew Skinner on the analysis of trabecular bone structure in hand bones. Dr Kivell got her PhD from the University of Toronto, working on Miocene apes with Prof. David Begun, and completed a two year post-doc at Duke University with Prof. Daniel Schmitt before coming to the MPI-EVA three years ago.
Dr Matthew Skinner is a Lecturer in the Dept. of Anthropology at University College London. He is a palaeoanthropologist who primarily studies dental morphology, specifically working with micro-CT data and geometric morphometrics to analyse the internal structures of fossil and extant primate teeth. He received his PhD from George Washington University, working with Prof. Bernard Wood. He was a postdoctoral Junior Researcher in the Dept. of Human Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology before moving to UCL last year.
