Biography

My main scientific goal is to understand the drivers and mechanisms that generate and erode biodiversity across space and time. I am interested in elucidating the relationships between i) biotic interactions and ii) abiotic factors (e.g., environmental changes) and changes of diversification, migration, and morphological variation. To achieve this goal, I used an interdisciplinary approach combining data from fossil and living organisms to study changes in diversity, in the distribution of species, and in their morphological evolution through time. I am also engaged in communicating science to society and increasing awareness of evolution and biodiversity.
