Emily Rayfield
Emily Rayfield is a British palaeontologist, who is a Professor in Palaeobiology in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol.Her research focuses on the functional anatomy of extinct vertebrates, especially dinosaurs, using computational methods such as finite element analysis (FEA). In the landmark paper Rayfield ''et al.'' (2001), the skull of the theropod dinosaur ''Allosaurus'' was analysed using FEA in order to quantitatively assess different feeding hypotheses. This paper was the first use of FEA on a three-dimensional structure in palaeontology (in collaboration with CT scanning), and spurred interest in using CT-scanned skull FEA on feeding biomechanics in zoology and palaeontology.
In addition, she helped elucidate the cranial biomechanics of the noted carnivorous dinosaur ''Tyrannosaurus'' using two-dimensional FEA. This study was expanded upon in a comparative finite element analysis of 2D theropod skulls (namely ''Allosaurus'' ''Coelophysis'' and ''Tyrannosaurus''), in order to quantitatively compare cranial biomechanics.
Prof. Rayfield was President of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology from 2018 to 2020. Provided by Wikipedia
