Biography
I am a palaeoanthropologist with a background in archaeology, anthropology and human anatomy. I completed my PhD thesis at UCL, where I assessed the taxonomic status of Middle Pleistocene hominins ('Homo heidelbergensis') through measuring variation in the browridge, using 3D geometric morphometrics.
I am part of the Palaeoanthropology and Comparative Anatomy (PACA) Laboratory at UCL Anthropology, and I am also the current curator of the Biological Anthropology collection.
Office hours: Tuesdays 10-11, Thursdays 9-10 (Book here)
