Research themes: Late Pleistocene and early Holocene hunter-gatherer societies in Africa. I am interested in the organization of hunter-gatherer lithic technology, especially stone procurement. My research explores how technological organization can be studied to understand the major evolutionary and demographic changes of the last hundred-thousand years in Africa.

Currently working as curator at the National Museum of Ethiopia in paleoanthropology, in Addis Ababa, and PhD student in PACEA lab in Bordeaux for African hominin fossils study, especially dental material.

I study functional anatomy of plio-pleistocene hominins’ shoulder with biomecanical modeling methods. Notably, I work with Omo Group Research Expedition from the lower Omo Valley.

Paleoanthropological research in Fejej region, South-Omo, Ethiopia, North-East Turkana Lake.

I am interested in the influence of fallback foods on the selection of dental phenotypes in suids and primates, particularly in early hominins.

One of the objectives of my project is to study the dental data of fossil suids and primates from the Shungura Formation, in the light of the results obtained on controlled-fed pigs, in order to better understand their diversity and evolution in relation to their feeding habits.
