Alana C Sharp

PeerJ Author & Reviewer

Summary

I am currently a lecturer in anatomy at University of Liverpool. I completed a BSc in Zoology (Monash University, Australia) followed by a PhD in functional morphology in 2015 (Monash University, Australia) on the cranial morphology and biomechanics of Diprotodon and other related extinct and extant marsupials. I then spent two years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of New England, Australia, where I also lectured in human anatomy. I joined UCL in 2017 as a research associate on a BBSRC project with Prof. Susan Evans on the role of soft tissues in cranial biomechanics. I started at University of Liverpool in September 2018
