\u201910 MSc<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derek\u2019s research included analyzing tooth morphology and diet in theropods with comparisons to living reptiles as analogs. More broadly, his interest includes composition, variation, and environment of vertebrate assemblages through evolutionary time. He received a MSc with Specialization in Systematics and Evolution in 2010 at the University of Alberta. Following his PhD, Derek was Assistant Curator for the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum at Wembley, Alberta, and in 2020 he became Palaeontology Collections Manager and Researcher at Royal BC Museum, Victoria.<\/p>\n
