Nicholas V. Passalacqua

Nicholas V. Passalacqua works in forensic anthropology, the study of human skeletal remains to help identify individuals and understand death circumstances in legal and medical contexts. His work focuses on professional standards, ethics, and practice quality in the field, as well as topics like human decomposition, skeletal identification methods, and how factors such as drugs or medical devices affect bones. He also studies how forensic anthropology is practiced and regulated, including issues of disparities and expertise in casework.

Output was notably high around 2018-2019, then declined and has remained relatively steady at a lower level (roughly 4-6 papers per year) over the past five years.
