President:
Dr. Marin Pilloud
Dr. Pilloud is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and is a board certified forensic anthropologist. Her research is broadly focused on the application of dental morphology and metrics to answering research questions in both bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology.
Past President:
Dr. Daniel Antoine
Dr. Antoine is the Acting Keeper (Head) of the Department of Egypt and Sudan at the British Museum. As the Curator of Bioarchaeology, he is also responsible for the Museum’s collection of human remains. Before joining the Museum in 2009, Daniel was a Leverhulme Trust (2006-2009) and Wellcome Trust Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2002-2005) at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, where he gained his PhD in 2001. He has published widely on the scientific study of mummies and human skeletal remains, bioarchaeology, and dental anthropology, including Ancient Lives, New Discoveries: Eight Mummies, Eight Stories with John Taylor (2014) and Regarding the Dead: Human Remains in the British Museum (2014) with Alexandra Fletcher and JD Hill.
Secretary:
Dr. Kathleen Paul
Dr. Paul is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and the Director of Predental Studies at the University of Arkansas. Her research uses quantitative genetic methods to explore the foundations of dental variation in (non)human primates, while her administrative responsibilities center around biomedical applications of dental science and preparing students for clinical dentistry training.
Treasurer:
Dr. Christina Nicholas
Dr. Nicholas is an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago (College of Dentistry). Trained as a paleoanthropologist, she tackles questions related to human evolution as well as contemporary oral health. She's particularly interested in identifying factors, both genetic and environmental, which influence the timing of facial growth and dental development.
Executive Board Member & Co-Journal Editor:
Dr. Rebecca George
Dr. George is an Instructor of Anthropology and the Forensic Anthropology Facilities Curator at Western Carolina University. Her research centers on the utility of dental morphology and odontometrics to answer bioarchaeological and forensic anthropological questions, with specific focuses on U.S. Latinx and Mexico City populations.
Communications Officer: Diana Malarchik, M.A., RPA
Ms. Malarchik is a doctoral candidate at the University of California, Davis in Evolutionary Anthropology. Her research uses dental isotopes to examine life history and health patterns of different populations within historic California.
Student Member: Dori Kenessey, PhD Candidate
Ms. Kenessey is a doctoral candidate at the University of Nevada, Reno focusing on dental anthropology and genotype-phenotype mapping. For her dissertation, she is investigating the underlying genetic architecture of dental morphological traits to highlight some of the genes that shape dental morphological trait expression.
