I am an UKRI Research Fellow and interdisciplinary palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum, UK. My research explores animal evolution through two main avenues: functional morphology and trace fossils.

At their core, both fields examine the mechanical interactions between ancient organisms and their physical environments, such as flow currents or the substrate. Leveraging my background in computational mechanics and skills in mathematics, I apply quantitative modeling and biophysical frameworks to uncover the mechanisms underlying these interactions. Furthermore, applying these computational approaches to trace fossils refines their classification and lays the foundation for high-throughput ichnological research.
