***I have moved! I am starting a new Hominin Origins Research Group in Barcelona. Please note my new contact information.

I am a paleoanthropologist and morphologist working on questions related to the evolution of apes and humans. I am particularly interested in reconstructing the evolution of locomotion in apes and humans, but mosaic fossil anatomy and the fragmentary nature of the fossil record make locomotor reconstructions challenging.  My work attempts to deal with these issues in locomotor reconstruction by implementing innovative modeling techniques, digital imaging, morphometrics, live animal data collection, dissection work, and comparative methods.

I conduct paleontological field work in Kenya. My current field work focus is in East Turkana and in the southern Kenyan Rift Valley.
