I completed a master's degree in Paleontology and
Sedimentary Environments in Lyon, France, in 2001. I am currently a doctoral
student in Paleontology in the Paläontologisches Institut und Museum der
Universität Zürich, Switzerland, and in the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1
(UMR 5125 « Paléoenvironments et Paléobiosphere »). My main
research topic is the paleobiogeography and diversity of Early Triassic
ammonoids, with emphasis on interactions between climatic changes and
large-scale biodiversity patterns in time and space. Fieldwork has taken me to
South China, Nevada, and Idaho.
