About me

I am a paleobiologist (in training) interested in macroecological and macroevolutionary patterns generated through environmental processes across space and time. I mainly work with marine invertebrates using primarily the Paleobiology Database and Neptune Database. As part of my Master’s thesis, I’m currently working on investigating origination and range dynamics. In the future, I am also planning to include machine learning methods in my analyses, to carry out predictions on future dynamics of marine organisms using palaeontological data. I mainly use R in my analyses and am just starting out with Python.

Originally trained as a physical geographer, I also carry out research on modern climate and natural hazards, focusing on Turkey and Mauritius. In my free time, I also have a dabble with data visualisations.
