Overview

Research Theme

Applied Clinical Research & Public Health

Research Group

Orthodontics and Three Dimensional Imaging

Research Aim

My research aim is to explain facial variation (biological make-up, anatomy, facial surface morphology and function) to inform a fully functioning biomechanical head model which is of value to improve healthcare interventions, improve wellbeing and quantify facial variation for face-wear, facial identification/forensics and computer interface industries.
