About

Stefano Gibelli is a leading researcher in forensic anthropology and craniofacial anatomy, with a particular focus on the application of advanced imaging techniques to skeletal analysis. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of human variation in the paranasal sinuses, most notably through his highly cited 2017 study on the volumetric assessment of sphenoid sinuses via CT scan segmentation. This paper, with 66 citations, established a reproducible methodology for quantifying sinus morphology, providing critical insights for both forensic identification and clinical practice. Gibelli’s contributions extend to the development of novel approaches for age estimation, sex determination, and individual identification from skeletal remains, often leveraging three-dimensional imaging and geometric morphometrics. His research has been instrumental in demonstrating the utility of the sphenoid sinus as a reliable biometric marker, influencing protocols in forensic casework and anthropological research. Through his rigorous, data-driven studies, Gibelli has become a key figure in modern forensic anthropology, bridging the gap between traditional osteological methods and cutting-edge digital technology.
