Wroe Lab: Potential Student Projects in Biomechanics

The Computational Biomechanics Research Group is a multidisciplinary team including experts in areas from vertebrate morphology and palaeontology to geometric morphometrics, mechanical engineering and maxillofacial surgery. We are keen to take on motivated students at Hons, Masters and PhD levels. Some available projects are shown below. We are happy to discuss these and other projects with potential students or postdocs. Contact Steve Wroe: swroe@une.edu.au

Stephen Wroe
My interests lie broadly in the areas of vertebrate morphology, evolution & computational biomechanics, shape analysis and virtual reconstruction. More specific interests include: Form-function relationships, feeding ecology and systematics in living and fossil taxa; including humans and other hominids, marsupial and placental carnivores (e.g., thylacinids, dasyurids, felids, canids, ursids, hyaenids), birds, sharks, crocodiles, varanids and other reptiles. The use of Finite Element Analysis to predict feeding behaviour. The application of FEA to biomedical questions. Extinction of the Australian megafauna. Marsupial carnivore phylogeny and biogeography.
