Background

At Johns Hopkins, Dr. Sylvester is an assistant professor in the Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution. He has a background in anthropology and zoology.

His research focuses on understanding the way in which humans and non-human primates move through their environments.

He studies the structure and interactions of bones and muscles to learn how they predict an animal's ability to move.
