Dinosaur biomechanics and palaeobiology
A skeleton of the ceratopsian dinosaur Triceratops, which lived during the upper Cretaceous period around 65 million years ago.
We aim to investigate dinosaur biology, using cutting-edge computer-based modelling and imaging techniques to provide rigorous limits on dinosaur feeding and locomotory behaviours.

Evolution of ornithischian quadrupedality
Dinosaurs are primitively bipedal. This project will investigate what factors led some groups to become quadrapedal.

Skull mechanics in sauropodomorph dinosaurs
This project aims to determine the mechanical constraints on skull form and feeding in dinosaurs of the group Sauropodomorpha, which includes the largest terrestrial herbivores of all time.
