Main research
My research aims at revising the diversity of fossil proboscideans from Ethiopia, as well as to study their paleoecology.
Methods
My work focuses on Elephas recki, an extinct relative of the Asian elephant, and on its different evolutionary stages between 3 Ma and 1 Ma.
I am interested in its dietary ecology, based on dental wear and tooth isotopic content.
Fieldworks
I study the collections of the Shungura Formation (Lower Omo Valley), as well as those from the Afar Depression, dated from the Miocene to the Pleistocene.
