Faye mcgechie
PhD Candidate
research interests
Faye is interested in the reconstruction of early hominin head and neck posture and its relationship to the evolution of bipedalism. She is currently investigating the musculoskeletal anatomy of living primates and other mammals to understand how the head and neck function as a system. Faye includes gross dissection, geometric morphometrics, and paleontological field work in her work.
