Focus

I am a bioarchaeologist researching population change, human variation, admixture, and the in-between lives,deaths, and identities of past and modern people.

I sub-specialize in the analysis of fragmentary and commingled human remains.

Research

I am currently studying the Iron Age peoples in Croatia and the Adriatic, and their Romanization. I use methods developed from quantitative genetic theories combined with known history to contextualize with biology the changing identities and ethnogenesis in the region. ​

Service

​My service work prioritizes ethical research practices, the dismantling of scientific racism, and diversity and representation in biological anthropology, particularly supporting Black and non-traditional students in academia, NAGPRA, and ethical collections practises.
