General research interests- Evolutionary morphology and palaeobiology of vertebrates
- Development of soft and hard tissues of vertebrates (focus "integument")
- Microanatomy and microstructural analysis of bone
- Interaction of functional, phylogenetic, and structural aspects in vertebrates
- (Palaeo-)Ecology of fossil and extant vertebrates
- Evolution and development in armor-bearing vertebrate groups (e.g. thyreophoran dinosaurs, turtles, crocodiles, placodont reptiles)
