Summary

I am a palaeoanthropologist with a focus on hominin dental morphology. My research investigates the evolution of the hominin dentition, and explores the implications for important transitions in the course of human evolutionary history. I am particularly interested in the origins and evolution of the genus Homo, and I have ongoing projects investigating internal dental structures in Homo habilis, Homo naledi, Homo floresiensis and Australopithecus sediba. I have experience collecting and processing micro-CT data and applying methodological approaches such as geometric morphometrics.
