— My Research —

My research focuses on understanding how vertebrates respond to catastrophic environmental changes, with a particular interest in mass extinction events. I study the Permo-Triassic and End-Triassic extinctions to uncover patterns of survival and recovery, using techniques like osteohistology to examine fossil bone microstructure. This allows me to explore growth, life history, and ecological adaptations in both ancient and modern vertebrates. I also have a deep interest in therapsids, the mammalian ancestors that dominated terrestrial ecosystems before the rise of dinosaurs, and my work bridges the past and present to shed light on biodiversity and environmental resilience.
