Camila Seco Dias is a PhD student in Anthropology at the University of Coimbra, where she is pursuing a specialization in Biological Anthropology, and a Junior Researcher at the Research Centre for Anthropology and Health (CIAS). She graduated in Biology from the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra in 2022 and obtained her Master’s degree in Forensic Anthropology from the same institution in 2024. Her Master’s research focused on the prevalence of Hyperostosis Frontalis Interna (HFI) in the 21st Century Identified Skeletal Collection at the University of Coimbra. Using computed tomography and 3D cranial reconstruction, she explored the relationship between this condition, biological sex, and age at death. Throughout her academic career, she has developed strong skills in forensic osteology, medical imaging, biological anthropology, and statistical analysis applied to forensic science. Passionate about the interdisciplinary nature of forensic anthropology, she believes that collaboration and innovation are essential to advancing the field. Her research interests include the development of new methodologies for osteological identification and the analysis of biological markers in both contemporary and archaeological populations. Beyond her academic pursuits, she was actively engaged in student representation, serving as both a member and board member of the Núcleo de Estudantes de Biologia da Associação Académica de Coimbra. She is also a certified trainer by the Portuguese Institute for Employment and Vocational Training (IEFP, I.P.).
