Christopher Aris is a Lecturer in Forensic Anthropology/Archaeology at the Department of Forensic Science, Lennard-Jones School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, Keele University. With expertise in dental anthropology and forensic pedagogy, he contributes to research and education at the intersection of forensic science, bioarchaeology, and human osteology.
- BSc (Hons) in Biological Anthropology, University of Kent
- MSc in Human Osteology and Funerary Archaeology, University of Sheffield
- PhD in Dental Anthropology, University of Sheffield (2021)
His research focuses on dental anthropology, particularly enamel growth patterns and taphonomic changes in teeth post-mortem, utilizing polarized light microscopy and thin-section histology. In forensic pedagogy, he investigates optimal methods for teaching forensic science using human remains, collaborating with forensic scientists, bioarchaeologists, and anatomists.
Recent publications highlight trends in enamel microstructure analysis across temporal populations (2000-year British studies), sex determination from teeth, and ethical considerations in forensic education. His work bridges biological anthropology with forensic applications, emphasizing community engagement through museum partnerships.
