RESEARCH IN HARD TISSUE HISTOLOGY & SKELETAL BIOLOGY
Thanks for visiting my website! I am a Polish-Australian biological anthropologist (someone who studies humans from both social and biological perspectives), although I specialise in hard tissue (bone and tooth) microscopy which I apply to understand the biology and function of humans and other mammals. I am fascinated by the fact that hard tissues, such as bone, are very metabolically active!
I am based in Brisbane, Australia and currently conduct research predominantly affiliated with the University of Queensland (Honorary Senior Lecturer since 2021). I am also a Visiting (Correspondent) Researcher at Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden (The Netherlands), and an Honorary Research Associate at the University of Kent in Canterbury (UK). I have 54 publications and have so far secured >$580k in research grants as a PI. As a CI/AI, I have featured on >$1.6 million worth of research grants. |
Between September and November 2022, I was a Martin & Temminck Fellow at Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden (The Netherlands). Until September 2022, I spent almost 7 years at the Australian National University in Canberra working as an ARC DECRA Fellow (2019–2022), Senior Lecturer (promoted in 2019), and Lecturer. Between 2015 and 2016 I was a Research Assistant in medicine at Imperial College in London. Until 2014, I spent about 8 years at the University of Kent in Canterbury completing a BSc (2010), PhD (2014), and PGCHE (2014), and working in various teaching roles, including tutoring, lab demonstration, sessional lecturing, and lecturing.
I was previously Treasurer of the Australasian Society for Human Biology, and Honorary Editor (2022) of The Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland (PRSQ). I am currently Editorial Board Member of Anthropological Review and Scientific Reports, and Honorary Associate Editor (2023) of PRSQ. |
