<h1>About me</h1>

<img class='p_image_right' width='200px' align='right' src='img/aaron_olsen.jpg' />
I'm currently the founder of <a href='https://www.3danatomystudios.com' >3D Anatomy Studios</a>, a
cooperative dedicated to building the next generation of learning tools for anatomy and physiology. Please see
our <a href='https://www.3danatomystudios.com' >website</a> or <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/aarolsen/'>connect with me
on linkedIn</a> for more updated information on what I'm up to.
</p>
<p>
Prior to starting 3D Anatomy Studios, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Ecology, Evolutionary, and Organismal Biology at Brown University
studying the evolution of musculoskeletal systems. My research focused on
the biomechanical principles governing how organisms produce motion
and how these principles have influenced the evolution and diversification of vertebrate musculoskeletal systems.
I addressed these questions by integrating <i>in vivo</i> experimentation,
morphological surveys of natural history specimens, and biomechanical modeling.
My research also included developing
<a href='software.html' >open-source software</a> for
<a href='tutorials/stereomorph.html' >shape data collection</a>,
<a href='tutorials/mechanisms.html' >computational modeling</a> and
<a href='tutorials/visualization3d.html' >web-based visualization</a>.
</p>
<p>
I completed my PhD with
<a href='https://westneatlab.uchicago.edu/' target='_blank' >Mark Westneat</a> at the University of Chicago.
For my PhD I studied the
<a href='current_projects/waterfowl.html' >evolution of feeding in the bird order Anseriformes (waterfowl)<a/>,
integrating ecological data from the literature, morphological data from
natural history collections, and functional predictions based on
<a href='current_projects/linkages.html' >biomechanical modeling</a>,
particularly cranial kinesis.
</p>
<p>
As a postdoctoral fellow I worked with
<a href='https://elizabeth-brainerd.squarespace.com/' target='_blank' >Beth Brainerd</a> at Brown University
to combine <i>in vivo</i> kinematics collected using <a href='http://www.xromm.org' target='_blank' >XROMM</a>,
biomechanical modeling, and collections-based approaches to understand how the
<a href='current_projects/suction.html' >biomechanics of suction feeding has influenced the diversification
of body forms in ray-finned fishes</a>. As a part of this project, Beth Brainerd,
<a href='https://arielcamp.weebly.com/' target='_blank'>Ariel Camp</a>, and I published a
<a href='http://jeb.biologists.org/content/220/24/4612' target='_blank' >paper in the Journal of Experimental Biology</a>
on a linkage that helps drive mouth expansion in the largemouth bass; this work was featured
by the <a href='https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/26/science/largemouth-bass-jaw.html' target='_blank' >New York Times ScienceTake</a>.
