Professor Smith has conducted research in multiple areas of biological anthropology, with studies encompassing modern and pre-modern hominids. Her interests include both skeletal biology and human evolution. Her recent research investigates the growth and development of skeletal and dental tissues. She holds an adjunct position at the Baylor College of Dentistry (Texas A&M Health Science Center) in Dallas, which allows her to work in conjunction with colleagues there who have common interests in understanding the coordinated three-dimensional growth and development of the bone and soft tissue of the craniofacial area. Some of her previous research with hand and foot bones, as well as her more recent research, has practical applications in forensic anthropology. |
