Kenneth Angielczyk is a Lecturer at the Field Museum and a member of the Graduate Programs Committee in Evolutionary Biology at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on Paleobiology, specifically on non-mammalian synapsids such as anomodont therapsids. Angielczyk's work explores various aspects of evolutionary morphology, including the study of turtle shells, and employs trophic network-based approaches to understand extinction and community evolution. He uses geometric morphometrics and phylogenetic techniques in his research, examining skull anatomy through methodologies like Synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography. His publication record includes noteworthy studies on vertebral function in mammals, species delimitation in Western Pond Turtles using machine learning, and the evolutionary implications of size and morphology in various taxa. He has contributed to multiple journals, providing insights into the effects of body size and phylogeny on vertebrate biology, highlighting his commitment to advancing the field of evolutionary biology.
