I use a wide range of imaging techniques (e.g., micro-focus X-ray tomography, synchrotron radiation, neutron-based tomography) and analytical tools (e.g., geometric morphometric) for non-invasively exploring the inner anatomy of fossil specimens.
For example, I published preliminary paleohistological observations of the skull of ‘Little Foot’ using synchrotron radiation (see link).

I contribute to the development of new methods for the quantitative analysis of complex anatomical structures, and more particularly of the brain endocasts (e.g., deformation-based models, automatic sulci detection, see link).

The tool that we developped for automatically detecting sulcal imprints is available here!
