传记

我得了B.A. 2000年从俄亥俄州雅典市的俄亥俄大学获得人类学和法语学位，并完成了我的博士学位.D. at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio in 2009. I’ve taught biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, 考古, economic anthropology and globalization, 社会学, and cultural diversity at The Ohio State University, Columbus State Community College, and The Ohio Dominican University in Columbus, 在接受菲律宾十大彩票平台大学的助理教授职位之前.

我的论文研究涉及现代人在眼眶和整个颅面解剖上的变异, 以及对人类脑化和面部前突减少的长期趋势的研究, 以及这些形态变化在多大程度上与体型变化有关, 形状, and orientation of the eye orbit. 先前的研究还包括通过人体测量指标对19世纪和20世纪俄亥俄州监狱囚犯的健康和社会经济地位进行研究, 并协助调查吼猴的人口结构和觅食模式, 卷尾猴, 以及哥斯达黎加库鲁野生动物保护区的蜘蛛猴.

I have participated in archaeological excavations at a 3.5年前的 Australopithecus africanus site in Makapansgat cave, South Africa; an Upper & Middle Paleolithic Neanderthal site in Southern France, 并指导考古学校研究史前野牛的杀戮, butcher and habitation sites in Southwest Montana.

Research Interests

My research centers on investigating human ocular, 轨道, midfacial, cerebral and neurocranial morphology, 以及这些特征之间的竞争如何在个体发育过程中限制眼睛和周围的眼组织, as it relates to the disparate incidence & severity of astigmatism and juvenile-onset myopia. This interdisciplinary research uses MRIs & associated clinical data from a large sample of humans, and is carried out using multiple imaging, statistical and geometric morphometric tools.

进一步的研究兴趣集中在对人类生物文化进化的研究上, 天体生物学, 天文学和时间物理学，因为它们与UFO现象有关. 我的新书, 识别飞行物:UFO现象的多学科科学方法, 他仔细研究了“不明飞行物”和“外星人”可能只是我们遥远的人类后裔的前提, 利用时间旅行的人类学工具来拜访和研究我们, as members of their own hominin evolutionary past. 这篇文章挑战读者考虑新的可能性，同时培养关于我们对时间和时间旅行不断发展的理解的对话.
