Professor Timothy B. Rowe

Professor Timothy B. Rowe is the J. Nalle Gregory Regents Professor of

Geology at The University of Texas at Austin and Director of the

Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory of the Texas Memorial Museum. He

received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley and was

a Fellow at the Smithsonian Institution before joining UT’s faculty in

1986. Rowe has pioneered the use of both multimedia and new X-ray

scanning technology for teaching and research in paleontology. The main

subject areas of his research include the evolution and anatomical

structure of reptiles, birds, and mammals. His publications include 30

scientific articles, six CD-ROMS, and the 1997 book The Mistaken

Extinction - Dinosaur Evolution and the Origin of Birds (co-authored with

Lowell Dingus). His most recent article is At the roots of the mammalian

tree, published this year in the journal Nature. In recognition of his work,

Rowe has received a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the

National Science Foundation, as well as several awards for teaching

excellence from the University of Texas.
