I'm a geodynamist and paleomagnetist that work on the influence of solid earth dynamics on biogeography evolution. During my phD, I focused on the Cenozoic kinematic evolution of the Caribbean region, where South-American land vertebrates dispersed towards the Greater Antilles at the Eocene-Oligocene transition. I'm now working as a post-doc on paleogeographic reconstruction of Middle-East, Anatolia and northern Africa, in the frame of the ERC DISPERSAL of Alexis Licht.
