Various "data projects"
Browse a collection of research projects I have recently contributed to as a consultant and data expert.
Calcitic skeletons I
We studied how sea urchins build their skeletons—from larval formation to the complex internal structures of adults.
Glass (Silica) skeletons
In glass sponges, we explored how intricate skeletons form at tiny scales, built from countless microscopic elements.
Dental studies
In these projects, we have investigated nature's fantastic solutions for dental tissue, including 3D-structure and element compositions that guarantee high performance during constant use and are designed for durability or controlled wear.
Phosphatic skeletons
During my PhD, I investigated the skeletons of sharks, rays, chimaera, and bony fish, linking structure and development to the evolution of vertebrate skeletons.
Calcitic skeletons II
My early work sparked a lasting interest in computed tomography, as I worked to capture the full, delicate anatomy of brachiopods.
