📣 📃 New paper out in press!

🦷 We look at the biomechanical impact of #tooth root morphology to inform #dental implant design.

👩‍💻We use finite element modelling to compare single vs. multiple roots on strain across the mandible.

📣Another exciting PhD available!

Partnered with @nottswildlife.bsky.social and fully funded by the ACCE+ NERC Doctoral Landscape Award.

We will look at morphological trait evolution, isolation and environment change, and rewilding of large herbivores.

📣 Funded PhD combining anatomy, surgery and engineering!

💀 This project aims to characterise the biomechanical behaviour of jaw implants following mandibulectomy.

📍@livuni-ilcams.bsky.social Liverpool, UK
🥼@ukshaq.bsky.social @clairebrockett.bsky.social and me!

With the high detail from the scans, we can reconstruct the muscles in 3D to learn more about their function and how flight evolved in bats

My PhD was on the cranial sinuses of the largest ever marsupial, Diprotodon - literally airheads. Blue in these figures are sinuses and pink is the brain - the bigger an animal gets, the more of an airhead they become 🤔😅

I’m coming to #SVP2025 in Birmingham! Very excited to see many friends again after so long. My last SVP was 2017 👀🤯

Graduation day!! 🎉🎉Congratulations @apwoodbailey.bsky.social and thank you @nathanj.bsky.social. Can’t wait for the next chapter 👀

Had some fun with the microCT yesterday. I’m excited about these new projects! 🐀🐒 #diceCT #biomechanics

It’s international bat appreciation day! 🦇

And just this week our paper on bat flight muscles made the front cover of @journalofanatomy.bsky.social

Had a fantastic time at my first AAA meeting! PhD candidate Betzy Manners also attended with her poster, which was a huge success 👏🐒🦍🦧✅

My talk at #AnatomyConnected2025 is done, but please find me if you want to talk about sutures! This work covers a few projects including @apwoodbailey.bsky.social PhD work on Lagomorphs

I'm heading to Portland tomorrow for the AAA-Anatomy Connected 2025 conference this weekend! Very excited to be going with PhD student Betzy Manners and catching up with colleagues and friends after a very long time.
