Dr. F. Robin O'Keefe is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Marshall University, West Virginia, where he has taught over 2000 undergraduates since 2006. His research focuses on marine reptiles from the age of dinosaurs and Pleistocene megafauna at Rancho La Brea, with expertise in plesiosaur reproduction and evolutionary biology.
- B.A. in Honors Biology, Stanford University (1992)
- Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology, University of Chicago (2000)
His research spans:
- Marine reptile evolutionary patterns (plesiosaurs, elasmosaurids)
- Paleoecological analysis of Rancho La Brea carnivores
- Permian reptile morphology and systematics
- Statistical approaches to phenotypic covariance
- 3D scanning applications in skeletal preservation
Publications in Science, Nature, and PNAS demonstrate his contributions to understanding viviparity in marine reptiles and Pleistocene ecosystem dynamics. He was awarded the 2013 Drinko Distinguished Research Fellowship and has mentored 19 completed Master's theses with two in progress.
