"Understanding how craniofacial form grows, functions, and changes"
"Understanding how craniofacial form grows, functions, and changes"
I study how craniofacial morphology emerges from the interaction between development, function, and biological constraints. My work lies at the interface between shape modelling, mathematics, developmental biology and biomechanics to investigate craniofacial growth in both typical and clinical contexts.
Rather than treating shape as a purely geometric object, I approach it as the product of biological and functional processes. My research aims to develop biologically informed models of craniofacial growth and to improve how shape analysis is used in clinical research.

Biologically informed craniofacial growth
Biologically informed craniofacial growth
Understanding how local developmental processes, tissue properties, and growth sites (such as sutures and synchondroses) shape global craniofacial morphology. This axis aims to connect tissue biology, developmental mechanisms, and 3D phenotype to move toward biologically grounded models of craniofacial growth.
Methodological frameworks for shape analysis
Methodological frameworks for shape analysis
Developing and critically evaluating quantitative tools for 2D and 3D shape analysis, including statistical shape modelling and longitudinal approaches. A strong emphasis is placed on methodological transparency, reproducibility, and alignment between research questions and analytical frameworks.
Clinical translation and phenotypic trajectories
Clinical translation and phenotypic trajectories
Applying shape analysis to clinically relevant questions, including craniofacial disorders, upper airway morphology, and treatment-related morphological changes. This axis also includes efforts toward data harmonization and standardization in multicenter clinical research.
