Excited to announce that the D M McDonald Grants and Awards Fund has agreed to fund my fieldwork this summer to the Neanderthal Rock Shelter site of Le Rozel in France. This site has previously unearthed a large collection of adult and children Neanderthal footprints (read all about it here). I was last on siteContinue reading “Fieldwork funded by the D M McDonald Grants and Awards Fund!”

Our new paper is just out in Scientific Reports: 3D polygonal muscle modelling and line of action estimation in living and extinct taxa
Or: how to recontruct soft tissues in living and extinct animals! Our co-authored paper was just published in Scientific Reports, led by Oliver E. Demuth as part of the DAWNDINOS project, led by Professor John R. Hutchinson. Find the paper here Abstract: Biomechanical models and simulations of musculoskeletal function rely on accurate muscle parameters, suchContinue reading “Our new paper is just out in Scientific Reports: 3D polygonal muscle modelling and line of action estimation in living and extinct taxa”
New paper published: A Guide to Inverse Kinematic Marker-Guided Rotoscoping using IK Solvers
Our new paper just landed in Integrative Organismal Biology. Go check it out here *Copyedit version expected mid Feb 2022 This paper forms a part of my previous postdoc on the DAWNDINOS project in which we collected motion data of crocodiles using biplanar X-ray, also known as ‘XROMM’ (X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology). This methodContinue reading “New paper published: A Guide to Inverse Kinematic Marker-Guided Rotoscoping using IK Solvers”
