Personal profile
Overview
I am a Presidential Fellow and Royal Society University Research Fellow interested in the anatomy and evolution of the mammal skeleton. I have a PhD in Functional Anatomy and Evolution from Johns Hopkins University and was an NSF-funded postdoc in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. Among other topics, my work has examined axial evolution, diversity and patterning, backbone function in the forerunners of mammals, and the evolutionary origin of mammalian locomotor patterns.
