Graduate Fellows

	Emranul Huq holds an MA in Social Sciences from the University of Chicago and an MSS in Anthropology from the University of Dhaka. His research focuses on the morphological variation in hominid fossil specimens from the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene, particularly specimens attributed to early Homo (i.e., Homo habilis and Homo rudolfensis). Other research interests include human evolution during the Middle and Late Pleistocene and the emergence of modern Homo sapiens.
	Joseph Sertich, who holds an MS in Geology from the University of Utah, is interested in Mesozoic Gondwanan biogeography, especially biogeographic and phylogenetic relationships among Gondwanan archosaurs during the Late Cretaceous. His Master’s work focused on the geology and vertebrate fauna of the Lubur Sandstone (Turkana Grits) of northern Kenya. Future work within the Turkana Basin will concentrate on the recovery of additional fossil specimens from the Lapurr Range and the identification of additional Mesozoic outcrops within the basin.
	Katie Slivensky received her B.S. from the University of Michigan, where her life-long interest in paleontology became focused on the study of primate evolution. Katie’s primary research goal is to establish a better understanding of the divergence of cercopithecoids and hominoids through functional morphological studies. Continued exploration of the early Miocene deposits of the Turkana Basin will be a component of this research.
	Ian Wallace completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) and graduated summa cum laude. Ian is broadly interested in paleoanthropology, with a specific interest in how and why human ancestors moved around their landscape. He is a student of both physical anthropology and Paleolithic archaeology.  Ian has participated in research projects in Kenya, France, Syria, and South Africa.
