EDUCATION:
Ph.D., Anthropology, Pennsylvania State University, expected in summer 2008
M.A., Anthropology, Pennsylvania State University, 2003
B.A., Anthropology, with distinction, University of Kansas, 1999
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AND INTERESTS:
I am a doctoral candidate in biological anthropology in the Richtsmeier laboratory at Pennsylvania State University. My research interests include craniofacial growth, development and evolution, and genotype-phenotype correlations. My dissertation examines evolutionary and ontogenetic changes in temporal bone pneumatization (the air cell network within the bone) in hominids. I am also involved in projects that investigate morphological changes in mouse models for Down syndrome and Apert syndrome. Finally, I am a member of collaborative project investigating phenotype-genotype correlations in individuals with craniosynostosis (premature closure of cranial sutures).
Here is a copy of my curriculum vitae.
