Biographical Details
Professor Wroe is the Director of the Function, Evolution & Anatomy Research (FEAR) Lab - a multidisciplinary team that includes collaborators from the University of Newcastle and University of New South Wales as well as the University of New England. Understanding how animals (living and extinct) function and how this shapes and constrains their evolution is our mission. We use 3D models, typically based on CT scans, to answer a wide range of questions in fields spanning from palaeontology and zoology to physical anthropology, as well as biomedicine.
