My research explores the
form-function paradigm through the use of
morphometrics and biomechanics. Engineering
principles are applied to the study of bone (mandibular,
appendicular) and teeth in order to establish
predictable relationships between the design of
structures and their customary functions. In
addition, I use force platforms and high-speed
videography to analyze locomotor events. I commonly
evaluate ontogenetic patterns in feeding or
locomotor function and have collaborated with
paleontologists to reconstruct behaviors of extinct
animals (such as saber-tooth cats) using the
form-function relationships established for extant
animals. |
