Main research question
My research mainly concerns the origin and evolutionary history of the Old World Anthracotheriidae and basal artiodactyls.
Topics of study
I mostly work on ungulates remains from the Tertiary of Africa and Eurasia.
Since several years, I have been collaborating with Jean-Jacques Jaeger, Yaowalak Chaimanee and Olivier Chavasseau (PALEVOPRIM) in studying the artiodactyl material from Pondaung (Paleogene, Myanmar), Thailand (Paleogene and Neogene) and Na Duong (Paleogene, Vietnam)
I also collaborate with Géraldine Garcia and Xavier Valentin (PALEVOPRIM) on several fossil sites in France (Moissac, Portel, Faluns de Touraine, …).
