Philip Fahn-Lai Graduate Student 2015-2021 Phil studies the tapestry of muscle and bone that makes up the shoulder, and how its structure and function evolved along the branch of the vertebrate tree of life that led to modern-day mammals. Their work combines CT imaging, high-speed X-ray videography, machine learning, and old-fashioned probe and scalpel dissection to produce new insights into the inner workings of ancient anatomical structures. |
