After graduating with a degree in Geology in Lille,
France, and Cork, Ireland, as an ERASMUS student in 2000, I completed my
master's degree in Paleontology and Sedimentary Environments in Lyon, France, in
2001. I am currently finishing my doctorate in Paleontology in Lyon. My main
interests are in the field of mammal paleobiodiversity, paleoecology, and
quantitative paleontology and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. I work on
Neogene mammalian communities, and I focus my research on the evolution of
community structures and mammals' diversity in relation to the global
environmental and climatic contexts.
