An innovator in paleontology, Philip Currie pioneered the use of CT scanners to generate three-dimensional models of fossil specimens to study the biomechanics, growth and physiology of dinosaurs. Through his work, he has significantly contributed to the profile of paleontological research in Canada, and has brought the study of fossils into the national and international spotlight.
