I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Poitiers (PALEVOPRIM laboratory). My research area focuses on examining the taphonomic and paleoenvironmental contexts of Plio-Pleistocene archaeological sites through analyzing associated or contemporaneous vertebrate assemblages. Currently, I am working on faunal collections from the Shungura Formation (lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia) under the supervision of Dr. Jean-Renaud Boisserie (University of Poitiers) and Dr. Joséphine Lesur (MNHN).
