معرفی
Russell Garwood is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at The University of Manchester. His research focuses on palaeontology, utilizing X-ray computed tomography (CT) and advanced imaging techniques to study arthropod evolution, fossil morphology, and phylogenetic relationships. He is a Scientific Associate at the Natural History Museum and has contributed to interdisciplinary projects such as the Interdisciplinary Centre for Ancient Life (ICAL). Garwood's work integrates computational methods, including deep learning for fossil image analysis, and has led to significant contributions in understanding arthropod phylogeny and evolutionary processes.
