Thanks for visiting my website, where I share post-prints of my research papers.  ​​I am a Polish-Australian biological anthropologist who hails from the UK. ​I study the link between lifestyle and bone health. 

My PhD was awarded in 2014, and I have a mixed background in biological anthropology and medical research united through the investigation of bone and tooth microscopy. ​Over the last ~10 years I've worked with anthropological and archaeological collections of human skeletal remains, and post-mortem/forensic donor samples, to investigate skeletal plasticity (Haversian bone tissue remodelling) in a variety of lifestyle contexts. 

​My peer reviewed record is 42 publications as of Sept 2021, including 1 edited book. To date, I have secured >$560k AUD in major and smaller grants towards research as a PI, and >$13k AUD towards research travel. Including collaborative grants (e.g. as an Associate/ Co-Investigator), I have featured on >$1.5 million AUD worth of research grants. ​
