Reyes-Centeno is Principal Investigator and Faculty Director of the HEVA Lab as well as Co-Principal Investigator of the U.S. National Science Foundation Mid-Scale for Heritage Science, EduceLab. His research focuses on the evolutionary mechanisms that produce the anatomy of humans today and in the past, addressing how biology and culture interact to produce variation and diversity in human anatomical form, particularly the size and shape of crania and teeth. Reyes-Centeno uses comparative evolutionary approaches to study human skeletons from archaeological and paleontological contexts, including quantitative genetics and population genetics, apply a suite of techniques that maximize data acquisition and heritage conservation, including virtual methods like computed tomography, photogrammetry, and multi-spectral imaging.
