About Ellie
Ellie is a functional morphologist and comparative anatomist. She received her Ph.D. in biological anthropology from Dartmouth College in 2019. Her fieldwork primarily takes place in South and Eastern Africa. She is interested in applying functional morphology and biomechanics to try and answer questions about human evolution. Her broad interest is in understanding the evolution of bipedal locomotion and the effect of forces on bone development. She primarily teaches gross anatomy and related subjects - including embryology, histology, and neuroanatomy - to medical students at the University of Colorado School of Medicine's branch campus at CSU.
