Biomechanics and Ornithology at Albright
Our group is investigating biomechanics through dissection and computer modeling, and, in the future, possibly more avenues! We are also interested in anatomy, behavior, and physiology of birds and dinosaurs. We welcome all Albright students to join us, regardless of your major.
