Personal profile
Research interests
My research focuses on the evolution of morphology and function in vertebrates (mostly archosaurs and lepidosaurs) using up-to-date computational methods, including morphological, biomechanical and macroevolutionary analyses. I am interested in reconstructing evolutionary patterns of morphological change and understanding the impact of biological function in such modifications.
My current postdoctoral research involves characterising the morphological and functional diversity of the lepidosaur head, aiming to elucidate the interplay between the skull and jaw musculature through development and evolution.
