On-going projects

• Bio-inspired braces: how seahorses may solve rehabilitation consequences of traditional braces
• Functional signals in the bone microstructure of flying vertebrates and their importance in understanding the evolution of powered flight in feathered dinosaurs
• Grasping onto evolution: testing hypotheses on adaptive evolution of animal prehensile systems
• Head shape variation in Darevskia lizards
• Seahorse-inspired swiss army knife: versatile robot manipulators that also solve evolutionary problems
• Shape variation and biomechanics of the sacroiliac joint in human pelvises
• The evolution of burrowing in limbless tetrapods
• The influence of (chronic) elevated levels of endogenous and exogenous glucocorticoids on the (re)activity of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Interrenal axis using carp (Cyprinus carpio) as a model
