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.
