Tina Lasisi is an Assistant Professor and LSA Collegiate Fellow in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. She earned her PhD in Anthropology from Penn State University in 2021, and her BA in Archaeology and Anthropology from the University of Cambridge in 2014. Her research primarily focuses on understanding human biological variation through the lens of hair pigmentation. She investigates the intersection of human biology, biometric technology, and dermatology, aiming to understand the broader implications of human variation. Lasisi's work includes investigating the evolutionary advantages of tightly curled hair and developing standardized methodologies for studying hair curvature and cross-sectional shape. Her ongoing research features strong interdisciplinary elements, collaborating with experts in population genetics, computer science, dermatology, and forensics.
