- Work with highly interdisciplinary team of archaeologists and natural historians to develop a new technique for dating ancient bone, based on collagen structure (Nature News, 18 March 2015) and solved a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology (New York Times, 3 July 2017) first raised by Darwin. Research widely reported in popular media online, e.g. telegraph.co.uk and mailonline.com (Wednesday 18 March 2015) and led to invited talks at 20th American Conference on Crystal Growth and Epitaxy (2015) and 12th PacRim Conference on Ceramic and Glass Technology (2016). Used innovative modelling methods developed as part of Programme Grant (EP/I001514/1).
