Koen Stein
- Research Expertise:
I am a palaeontologist. I have analyzed the macrofossils of a Silurian reef community to model ecological changes, and investigated the gliding performance of the Late Triassic Kuehneosauridae, but since my PhD at the University of Bonn, I have mostly worked on the bone histology of extinct and extant tetrapods.
Currently, I am FWO postdoctoral fellow, based at the Free University of Brussels (VUB) and Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), focussing on the bone and tooth histology of ornithopod dinosaurs, and the potential of preservation of biomolecules in millions of years old bones.
