I am a palaeontologist studying dinosaur palaeobiology, macroecology, and extinction. To investigate these topics, I use phylogenetic, biogeographic, statistical, and Earth System Modelling tools.
Currently, my main research topics include: 1) the relationship between physical agents shaping the fossil record and disentangling their role in order to detect genuine biodiversity signals in deep time; 2) the interplay between changing climate, geography, and biodiversity in controlling macroevolution and macroecological patterns; 3) the physical drivers behind evolutionary adaptations and extinction.
