Main research question
My research interest concerns the history and the evolution of mammals in South East Asia and the contribution of that province to the emergence of the extant group of mammals.
Topics of study
In this southeastern Asia framework, I specifically work on:
- the emergence and evolution of anthropoid primates during the Paleogene;
- the emergence and evolution of apes, notably that of the orang utan lineage;
- the evolutionary dynamic of mammals in a paleoenvironmental and biochronologic perspective.
Fieldworks
In that frame, I supervise the field works and excavations in the Pondaung Formation of Central Myanmar and participate to the field works and excavations organized by Yaowalak chaimanee in Thailand and Laos.
