Education
- PhD, McMaster University, Canada
Biography
I joined the department in May 2013, after a full time professorship at the University of Porto Medical School, in Portugal. Previously I had been a researcher and curator at the National Museum of Natural History in Lisbon. I am a physical anthropologist with several years of lab and field-work experience in human skeletal biology and bioarchaeology, particularly with the juvenile skeleton. Since 2007 I have been involved in forensic anthropology case consulting, first in Portugal and recently in Canada. I have also received training in epidemiology during my postdoctoral studies and I have been involved in anthropometric history research. I earned my PhD in Anthropology from McMaster University in 2005 and I was the recipient of the CAGS-UMI (Canadian Association for Graduate Studies - University Microfilms International) distinguished dissertation award the following year. In addition to being a faculty member in the department, I am the Co-Director of the 丁香园AV Centre for Forensic Research, and head of the Juvenile Osteology 鈥� JUNO group.
