Professor Dean Adams
Dean Adams is a Distinguished Professor at Iowa State University specializing in geometric morphometrics, evolutionary biology, and statistical shape analysis.
He is the lead developer of the widely used R packages geomorph and RRPP, and has secured major NSF grants totaling over $2 million to advance permutational biometry and shape analysis software.
His extensive publication record includes recent work in Evolution, Methods in Ecology and Evolution, and Systematic Biology, covering topics from phylogenetic signal to measurement error and allometry. Professor Adams also regularly teaches international workshops on geometric morphometrics in R, making him a leading figure in both the methodological development and practical training of these analytical tools.
