Biography

I received my PhD from the University of Durham in 2007.  The title of my thesis was "Dispersal of Homo sapiens around the Indian Ocean Rim: a geometric morphometric study of craniofacial diversity".

My research interests include:

  • The evolution of human craniofacial diversity
  • Early human migrations
  • Biological anthropology from material culture
  • Forensic anthropology
  • Applications of geometric morphometrics to human evolution
  • Public engagement with science and anthropology
