Stephan Lautenschlager is an Associate Professor in Palaeobiology at the University of Birmingham's School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences. His research focuses on functional morphology and biomechanical analysis of extinct vertebrates, applying computational techniques to restore fossil morphology and reconstruct biological functions. He specializes in dinosaurs, birds, crocodiles, and mammals, with projects including the evolution of herbivory in archosaurs and brain morphology in vertebrates. Education: Diploma in Geology/Palaeontology (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Munich) PhD in Palaeontology (University of Bristol) Research Interests: Stephan’s work integrates digital restoration, biomechanical modeling (FEA/MDA), and CT scanning to investigate form-function relationships in fossils. Key areas include fossil soft-tissue reconstruction, evolutionary biomechanics, and computational paleontology. His research highlights how computational methods bridge gaps in understanding extinct organisms’ behavior and ecology. Publications: Recent work includes studies on stem gnathostomes, saber-toothed predators, and dinosaur visual capabilities. These contributions underscore the application of advanced digital tools to address evolutionary and ecological questions in vertebrate paleontology. Advising & Grants: While specific grants are not detailed, his postdoctoral research at Bristol (2013–2016) and prior roles reflect engagement with funded projects. He advises students on computational and morphological research in palaeobiology. Labs/Teams: Active within the School’s Palaeobiology and Earth Sciences research groups, contributing to interdisciplinary projects on vertebrate evolution and fossil reconstruction.

Jan Behrmann is a Full Professor in Marine Geodynamics at the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel and the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR), where he has been affiliated since 2006. Previously, he served as Full Professor in Geology at Freiburg University from 1995 to 2006. His research is centered at the intersection of tectonics, marine geology, and geodynamics, with a focus on subduction zones, accretionary prisms, and active tectonic processes. His research interests include structural geology, petrophysics, rock deformation, fluid flow in sediments, and the geomechanical properties of marine sediments and hard rocks. He has led and participated in numerous international ocean drilling expeditions, including IODP Expeditions 308 and 315, and ODP Legs 110, 141, and others, conducting shore-based structural studies and 3D retrodeformation analyses across regions such as Chile, the Gulf of Mexico, the Alps, and the North Sea. Throughout his career, Prof. Behrmann has secured significant research funding from German agencies including the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research), leading projects such as FastSed, DFG-SFB 574 'Subduction Factory', and PetroTec, focusing on sediment strength, tectonics, fluid flow, and slope stability in subduction zones. He has also advanced neutron diffraction techniques for rock texture analysis at the IBR-2 reactor in Dubna, Russia. He has played leadership roles as co-chief scientist on major expeditions and contributed to understanding seismogenic zones, neotectonics in Patagonia, and the Upper Rhine Graben. His work integrates field, laboratory, and computational methods to investigate the dynamics of the ocean floor and continental margins. Laboratory: Neutron texture diffractometer development and operation at IBR-2 Reactor, Dubna Research Teams: Involved in international Ocean Drilling Programs (ODP/IODP), TIPTEQ consortium, and DFG Collaborative Research Centers

Eva C. Herbst is a Postdoctoral Researcher in Shoulder Biomechanics at ETH Zurich's Institute for Biomechanics, Department of Health Sciences and Technology. She works in close collaboration with Prof. Dr. Stephen Ferguson at ETH and Prof. Dr. med. Philipp Moroder at the Schulthess Clinic, developing computational models to investigate dynamic joint loading in patients and maximize clinical impact. Her research integrates multi-body dynamics and finite element modeling to create shoulder biomechanics models for implant development and patient analysis. With a background in comparative biomechanics and paleontology, she maintains a strong interest in the link between form and function across biological contexts, applying evolutionary perspectives to clinical problems. Clinical biomechanics of the shoulder Computational modeling for implant development Finite element analysis and multibody dynamics Biomechanical analysis of patient-specific scenarios Comparative biomechanics across evolutionary time scales Dr. Herbst has developed several important computational tools that have gained recognition in the biomechanics community, including Spherical Frame Projections for visualizing joint range of motion, Trabecular Segmentation techniques for bone analysis, and MyoGenerator, a Blender add-on for 3D muscle modeling. She founded Finite Element Zurich to make finite element modeling more accessible by sharing resources, code, and workflows. Her publication record shows a clear progression from evolutionary biomechanics toward clinical applications, with recent work focusing on shoulder arthroplasty, osseous shoulder morphology, and patient-specific computational modeling. Her earlier research examined paleopathology in early tetrapods, cervical morphology in sloths, and salamander locomotion. She actively shares her research tools through GitHub, FigShare, and Morphosource, demonstrating a strong commitment to open science practices.
