Welcome
My name is Dr. Micayla Spiros. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow working with the University of New Mexico and the New Mexico Office of Medical Investigator working on the Missing and Unidentified Human Remains (MUHR) grant.
I earned my Ph.D.in Anthropology from Michigan State University in 2024 researching postcranial variation in the human skeleton. My research interests include human skeletal biology, exploring human variation from a biocultural perspective, decision making, artificial intelligence, and cognitive bias in forensic anthropology, and digital pedagogy.
*All photos of skeletal remains on this website are casts or anatomical materials.
