Human Evolution Interest
My research focuses on pediatric body composition and energy metabolism, which has involved
pioneering and refining a variety of techniques for measuring energy
expenditure, body composition and breast-milk intake in younger ages. I also work
extensively on evolutionary theory, addressing the association between
developmental plasticity and health.
