Gabriel de Souza Ferreira

Researcher of the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment (SHEP) and Scientific Coordinator of the 3D Imaging Lab of the Universität Tübingen, Germany. PhD (2019) with double-degree in Sciences (Comparative Biology emphasis) from FFCLRP-University of São Paulo (FFCLRP-USP) and in Geosciences from Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, Germany, co-advised by Prof. Dr. Max C. Langer (Ribeirão Preto), and Prof. Dr. Madelaine Böhme (Tübingen). MSc (2015) in Sciences (Comparative Biology emphasis) and BSc (2011) in Biology from FFCLRP-USP advised by Prof. Dr. Max C. Langer. During the MSc I did an internship at the Museo Paleontológico Egidio Feruglio (MPEF), Trelew, Argentina, supervised by Dra. Juliana Sterli. My research interest focus on the morphology and evolution of reptiles, especially turtles, using computational quantitative approaches, such as geometric morphometrics, morphospace and biogeography, and virtual paleontology and morphology, such as computed tomography, 3D digital reconstructions and functional analyses (e.g., FEA).
