Workshop on Virtual Reconstruction and Computational Biomechanics

December 1, 2016

The Workshop on Virtual Reconstruction and Computational Biomechanics organised at Monash University has been extremely successful. We had many national and international speakers from different institutes and industries. I would like to thank: Stefano Benazzi (University of Bologna and Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology), Stephen Wroe (University of New England), Justin Ledogar (University of New England), Will Parr (University of New South Wales), Phil Clausen (University of Newcastle), Samuel Evans (University of Newcastle), Michael Curry (University of New England), Fareena Aljunid (Materialise) and Gerard Care (Strand7).

We have been “fully booked” for this two-days intensive training workshop with over 40 participants, including postgraduate students and senior researchers from all over Australia and from overseas (Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands).

Luca Fiorenza

Luca is Head of the Palaeodiet Research Lab and he received his Bachelor/Master degree in Natural Sciences in 2003 at La Sapienza University in Rome (Italy), and completed his PhD in Biological Sciences between the Goethe University and the Senckenberg Research Institute (Frankfurt, Germany) at the end of 2009. During his doctoral degree he was part of an outstanding multidisciplinary network called EVAN (European Virtual Anthropology Network), where he mastered cutting-edge techniques for the study of anatomical variability, including medical imaging, 3D digitisation, display, modelling and programming. Luca’s research interests mostly focus on functional morphology of the masticatory apparatus in human and non-human primates, and on the importance of the role of diet in human evolution.
