Research Interests:
The research in my laboratory is directed towards understanding of cranio-facial complex, facial growth and development. We currently use a variety of imaging techniques to better understand the mechanisms observed in children. My lab currently possesses a surface imaging camera from 3dMD and a Cone Beam facial imaging device from Sirona USA.
Depending on the student's interests, a tutorial in my laboratory would provide experience with soft tissue surface imaging and clinical trials.
