Andre J. Rowe

I am a vertebrate palaeontologist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I received my BA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, MS from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, and PhD from the University of Bristol. Most of my research has focused on assessing skull mechanics and feeding behaviours in the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs, particularly tyrannosauroids. I am also interested in different ways of capturing 3D data in fossils and various computational methods we can use to study the fossil record. As a postdoctoral researcher based in Bristol, I have lately been working on the life histories of Mesozoic mammals by analysing their dental tissues via synchrotron radiation-based X-ray tomography. When not doing my own research, I am co-supervising graduate students in the Bristol palaeobiology MSc programme, which has allowed me to work on other fossil organisms including ichthyosaurs and extinct kangaroos.
