Martina Trocchi
Martina Trocchi (PhD 2025, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy) is a biological anthropologist and conservation scientist.
Her main interest lies in virtual anthropology and the various applications of micro-imaging techniques, such as X-ray microtomography (XµCT) and Synchrotron microtomography (SRµCT), for the study of human dental specimens. Her PhD research project focused on virtual palaeohistology for the analysis of human teeth from fossil and archaeological contexts. He held a postdoctoral position at the CNR Institute of Complex Systems as part of the PRIN project “Disentangling human infants’ plasticity during subsistence transitions: an innovative integrated approach – PUERI” for the study, using classic histology and volumetric analysis, of dental remains from Mesolithic Omanite contexts. During her Master’s thesis, she worked on XµCT volumes of Neanderthal specimens from Krapina (Croatia, 130 ka). Her skills include the use of specialist software for segmentation, virtual histology and rendering from tomographic volumes; as well as classic dental histology and investigative methods in skeletal anthropology and bioarchaeology. He is also interested in human evolution, the dissemination of human odontoskeletal remains as Cultural Heritage.
