Paleoecology - Isotope geochemistry - Paleoanthropology
I am a paleoecologist interested in Cenozoic seasonality and its impact on hominin and herbivore subsistence and movement ecology. I specialize in the use of stable and radiogenic isotope ratios in incremental biological tissues.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Associate in the Wostbrock lab in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Yale University, where I measure triple oxygen isotopes in tooth enamel carbonates and phosphates to reconstruct water fluxes in modern and fossil large mammals.Â
