amelie.beaudet[at]univ-poitiers.fr The general research My research focuses on the paleobiology of Plio-Pleistocene hominins with a particular interest in the evolutionary and adaptive contexts from which the genus Homo emerged. Methods I use a wide range of imaging techniques (e.g., micro-focus X-ray tomography, synchrotron radiation, neutron-based tomography) and analytical tools (e.g., geometric morphometric) for non-invasively exploring the inner anatomy of fossil specimens. Fieldwork Since 2017, I have been a core member of the research team in charge of the study of the fossil material from the site of Sterkfontein, located in the « Cradle of Humankind » in South Africa. In addition, I am a member of the Human Origins in Namibia and Human Origins in Mozambique and Malawi Environments projects led by L. Bruxelles (INRAP & TRACES UMR 5608). Projects I am the co-PI of the project EndoMap (https://www.endomap.org/) funded by the French Embassy and the National Research Foundation of South Africa developped in collaboration with C. Fonta (CerCo UMR 5549).
