- Current interests: Primate locomotor functional anatomy; trabecular architecture & loading in the pelvis; Miocene apes; the roles of museums and social media in communicating the science of human evolution
- Dissertation: Characterizing density and anisotropy in the trabecular architecture of the primate ilium and ischium. Briefly, I attempted to determine whether I could use the internal bony architecture of the hip in living primates of known locomotor mode to reconstruct locomotion in the Miocene ape Rudapithecus hungaricus.
