We're introducing our AMFaces team. We're continuing with the @manmetuni.bsky.social and introducing our Materials team.

The team are conducting mechanical testing on the AMFaces-made samples to ensure they are of the best quality.

Meet Dr Kathryn Chamberlain, Researcher on the AMFaces project.

Multifaceted Interdisciplinary research seminars on the human face

Abstracts and further details are available at: multifacetedresearch.wordpress.com

The workshops are funded through the UMRI 2025 Interdisciplinary Research Pump-Priming project ‘Challenging the Impossible’ and supported by Creative Manchester.

Contact: kinjiro.amano@manchester.ac.uk

The series aims to reassess some of the issues surrounding the reconstruction of historical faces through interdisciplinary conversations across a wide range of research fields.

The project team includes David Foster, Kinjiro Amano and Julian Yates of the AMFaces team.

We're pleased to announce our workshop:
Faces through modern eyes: reconstruction and recognition.
Wed 17th Dec, 2pm-5pm.
Booth Street East Building, Theatre B

This is the second in the interdisciplinary research seminar series on the human faces and their reconstruction.

His research expertise is in musculoskeletal health, bone biomechanics, and materials for dental and reconstructive science applications. He is overseeing the materials testing of novel prosthetics.
