I am currently Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Archaeology and co-Director of the Centre for Forensic Research at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., Canada. I am also Adjunct Professor at the University of Porto Medical School, Portugal. My research interests are united under the Juvenile Osteology Group – JUNO, and I’m responsible for the Forensic Osteology - FROST Lab, which provides forensic consulting services. In 2018 I was named member to the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 2020 I was the recipient of the Faculty of Environment Excellence in Research Award. I am a physical anthropologist with a specialization in human juvenile osteology, but I have a wide range of other research interests. My research program has been united under the JUNO – Juvenile Osteology Group, which examines fundamental questions about the growth, development, maintenance, use, abuse and ultimately death, degradation, transportation, burial and diagenesis of the juvenile skeleton, particularly for the development of theory and methods for forensic, bioarchaeological and paleontological applications. My other research interests include the critical analysis and development of methods for osteological analysis in adults, including estimation of the biological profile, diagnosis of trauma and pathological conditions from the human skeleton, taphonomy and time since death, as well as epidemiology, anthropometric history, historical demography, human evolution and paleoanthropology, curation of human remains, professional practice, ethics and social justice. I have worked extensively with human anatomical, cemetery and archaeological collections is various museums, including the National Museum of Natural History in Portugal where I was curator for many years and established the anthropology laboratory.
