    Pterosaur biomechanics
    Structure and function of bone
    Locomotion and flight
    Finite Element Analysis

    My current research is on biomechanics of pterosaurs, mostly using engineering software to probe how their skeletons peerformed during hypothesised behaviours. This applies to gait, flight and feeding, helping to provide more information on these aspects of their lifestyles. I find this a happy medium between my desires to look at fossils and also to find out how stuff works. Previous research has included macroevolution of pterosaurs.
