I am a European Research Area fellow at the University of Coimbra, currently studying the human remains from Mesolithic Muge. I hold a Ph.D. degree from the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, PSL Research University Paris. I am particularly interested in biocultural transitions and interactions in prehistory. To date, my research has focused on two chronological and geographical contexts: 1) Southwestern Asia, a region of human population confluences during the Late Pleistocene, and 2) the Iberian Peninsula, the last point of contact in Europe between nomadic hunter-gatherers and more settled food-producing populations during the Holocene. Coincidentally, the human skeletal remains from these two contexts underwent severe post-mortem alterations (e.g., crushing, compaction, concretion) that have limited previous studies and their conclusions. I am involved in the analysis of several fossils and individuals including the early modern humans from Qafzeh cave (Middle Palaeolithic, Mediterranean Levant) and Dar-es-Soltane II (Middle Palaeolithic, Morocco), the Neanderthal remains from Regourdou (Middle Palaeolithic, France) and of the 1812 soldiers from the Napoleonic Grande Armée, (Kaliningrad, Russia). I successfully obtained funding through highly competitive project calls from the European Uninion and private foundations. I published 8 peer-reviewed articles (6 as 1st author) in international journals, 1 book chapter, I gave 2 keynotes lectures and 19 communications in scientific meetings (11 podiums and 6 posters as 1st author), and organized 4 scientific meetings, The dissemination of the results of my research to the general public is an important matter to me, I have participated in several valorization events including radio and television programs and at events for the general public and schools.
