I am a biological and forensic anthropologist at George Mason University, where I am affiliated with the Forensic Science Research and Training Laboratory (FSRTL), a human taphonomic research facility. My work integrates forensic anthropology, skeletal biology, and quantitative methods, with an emphasis on applied research, method validation, and ethical practice. My research focuses on forensic skeletal analysis, trauma interpretation, and population variation in biological profile estimation, particularly addressing the underrepresentation of Asian groups in skeletal biology and forensic standards. I also work in forensic taphonomy and decomposition research, contributing to regionally grounded, empirical approaches to postmortem interval estimation and case interpretation. I am actively engaged in forensic anthropology consultation, including human vs. non-human determinations, skeletal assessment, search and recovery, and secondary review, and have worked with medical examiner’s and coroner’s offices across multiple U.S. jurisdictions. I am particularly interested in building sustainable bridges between research, practice, and training in forensic anthropology.
