As part of my postdoctoral research, I focus on the relationships between dental and cranial morphology through time using fossil cercopithecoids as a model system. The work presented here primarily concerns the Middle Awash fossil assemblages (Ethiopia), with a particular emphasis on papionins from the Pleistocene deposits of Chai Baro and the older levels of the Andalto Member. These assemblages provide a valuable framework for investigating morphological variation, evolutionary continuity, and faunal dynamics among East African baboons throughout the Pleistocene.

In parallel, my research also contributes to the second axis of the Tied2Teeth project through the use of the Dental Morphological Database (DeMoDa), a large database dedicated to human dental variation. This work first addresses methodological aspects related to coding systems, character selection, and dataset structure in order to better understand how these factors influence interpretations of biological variation and affinities among human populations, before subsequently addressing questions more directly related to evolutionary dynamics. Together, these approaches contribute to a broader understanding of dental morphology and the patterns of variation observed in fossil and extant primates.
