Research interests

I am a postdoctoral researcher working on the Environments and Energy Use of Early Humans on the Edge (EDGE) project. My focus is on using recommender systems and species distribution modelling to reconstruct faunas at fossil sites.

My previous research has considered the relationships between vertebrate traits and the environment in the fossil record, first in fossil horses, and, during my PhD, for Cenozoic reptiles. I am broadly interested in interrogating biotic and abiotic effects on the distribution of traits in vertebrate communities and in how the structures of those communities have changed over time.
