Dr. Kazim HALAÇLAR
Dr. Kazim HALAÇLAR
Kazim is a TÜBİTAK postdoctoral fellow affiliated with the Ege University Natural History Museum in Izmir, Türkiye. His research centers on the systematics of fossil large rodents and their paleobiogeography across Eurasia.
Currently, he is contributing to our lab by investigating the Plio-Pleistocene micromammal faunas of Taiwan and Türkiye to elucidate their Eurasian paleobiogeographical connections.

Dr. Shraddha BAND
Dr. Shraddha BAND
Shraddha is a paleoceanographer interested in biogeochemical changes in the ocean since the Pliocene. She uses geochemical and micropaleontological proxies from depth-stratified planktonic foraminifera from the sedimentary cores to reconstruct past vertical changes in ocean structure and biogeochemistry.
In our lab, she is reconstructing Plio-Pleistocene geochemical and ventilation changes using foraminifera proxies from the western equatorial Pacific and exploring their impact on fish diversity.

杜明克
Dom is a PhD Student at National Taiwan Normal University (TIGP program). His current work is on fish taxonomy and paleontology through otoliths, particularly in the Philippines.
He will be working to understand the relationship between phylogeny, morphology and biodiversity in fish otoliths over millions of years using 3D geometric morphometrics and machine learning approaches.

He is currently focusing on Pliocene elasmobranch fossils from northern Taiwan and trying to interpret their associated paleoecology; he will use interdisciplinary approaches to explore how to reconstruct past marine ecosystems through shark fossils.
