Deano Stynder
Laboratoire d'Anthropobiologie
Université Paul Sabatier, France
Deano Stynder was employed as a postdoctoral fellow (EVAN Research Training Network) at the University of Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France.

Alexandre Bourdeu
Department of Anthropology
University of Vienna, Austria
I am an engineer in Optics and Image Processing who has had a two-year EVAN fellowship at Breuckmann GmbH, in Meersburg, Germany.
My task there was to implement applications to help anthropologists in the digitization of objects with 3-dimensional surface scanners. This included the development of functions for morphometrical analysis as well as for the improvement of rendering.
After the end of my EVAN contract, I have begun a PhD thesis in anthropology at the University of Vienna, on the "Study of the Inheritance of the Habsburg Prognathism Through Sculpted Portraits".

Imen Elhechmi
Département d'Optique P.M. Duffieux FEMTO-ST
Université de Franche Comté 25030 cedex Besançon, France
Dr. Imen ELHECHMI obtained a Ph.D. degree in Engineer Science from Besançon University on January 8th, 2010.(EVAN Training Network). The aim of her work is the development of biometric tools. It is well known that current methods in biometry are not reliable enough. Therefore this work consists in the improvement of current methods of age (juveniles and adults) estimation in extant humans and in the development of a new biometric approach (based on dental growth increments and changes in dental tissues due to cementum and dentine apposition) . Ph.D. Supervised by Prof. Tijani Gharbi and Prof. José Braga.

Ben Ali Qualid
Functional Morphology and Evolution Group
University of York, GB
Dr. Oualid Ben Ali obtained a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Laval University (Quebec) (supervised by Bernard Moulin since 2001).
He is mainly interested in using multiagent systems to simulate behaviors and phenomena in 2D-3D geographic virtual spatial environments.

Michael Coquerelle
Department of Anthropology
University of Vienna , Austria
Michael Coquerelle is currently employed as a Marie Curie doctoral fellow (EVAN Training Network). He is a Ph.D. student working on growth and developmental patterns in primate mandibles. This work is supervised by José Braga, Gerhard W. Weber and Demetrios Halazonetis.

Clement Creusot
Department of Computer Science
University of York - Cybula, U.K.
I am a Marie Curie doctoral fellow (EVAN Research Training Network) employed at Cybula Ltd (UK). I am currently doing a PhD on automatic 3D face recognition at the university of York . My work is to evaluate new techniques for automatic face landmarking. The first expected outcome is a better and faster registration of the 3D faces. The use of the landmarks to directly recognize the faces will also be evaluated.

Cinzia Fornai
Department of Anthropology
University of Vienna, Austria
I focus my research on the study of the dental morphology of South African hominids with particular interest to the matter of the hypothesis of the occurrence of a further new australopithecine species at Sterkfontein Member 4 and Makapansgat fossil sites. On this topic, I performed an MSc through the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg under the supervision of Professor R. J. Clarke.
I have recently joined the EVAN project as a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher at the Department of Anthropology, University of Vienna, with the aim to train in quantitative morphology of hominoid teeth, including studies in palaeoanthropology, growth and development, and the development of methods in Virtual Anthropology (VA) and Geometric Morphometrics (GMM). The main purpose of the training period at the Department of Anthropology is to develop a PhD project focused on the study of dental hominid material to contribute to our knowledge of the early stage of human evolution and possibly unravel the phyletic relationships between early hominids.
In particular, I have been trained for the use of “Amira” software one of the most powerful and versatile software for visualization and manipulation of virtual images. I attended a workshop in York, UK, for the use of the newly developed EVAN “Toolkit”, a GMM and VA statistical package. I have been encouraged and financially supported to participate to meetings such as the AAPA Congresses 2010 in New Mexico, which represents one of the most important events for anthropologists and palaeoanthropologists.

Caroline Souday
Departement of Human Evolution
Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology , Germany
I am employed as a Marie Curie post-doctoral fellow (EVAN training network). My research project focuses on the application of 2D and 3D geometrics to the study of deciduous post-canine teeth and aims to fill a gap in the understanding of juvenile hominin dental evolution.

Elena F Kranioti, MD, Ph.D
Department of Paleobiology
Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Spain
Elena Kranioti is an EVAN fellow in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid, Spain, since July 2007. During the first two years of her fellowship she focused her research on the study of skeletal growth via the observation of remodeling processes. After the end of her original project (15.07.2009) she got an extension contract in EVAN (up to the end of the EVAN project, December, 2009) for studying the ontogenetic growth of the occipital bone using 3D Geometric Morphometrics. Within the EVAN network she attended 12 international workshops and she became capable of operating a series of software used in these fields such as, tps series, Morphologika, Amira, Rapidform, Morpheus et al., Viewbox, EVAN Toolkit etc. Additionally, she have made significant contacts in the past years (physical and forensic anthropologists, archaeologists, paleoanthropologists, paleobiologists etc) which will eventually lead to productive collaborations in the near future.
