Research interests:

My current research is focused on analysis of trauma and disease markers in ancient mummified and skeletal remains. My primary interests are paleopathology, forensic analysis, trauma, and mechanisms of injury, with secondary interests in infectious disease, evolutionary genetics, functional morphology, and comparative anatomy/physiology. My research is reliant on medical imaging, photogrammetry, and modeling, as well as archaeological fieldwork, lab work, and museum collections. I am also interested in the legal and ethical concerns of working with human remains.
