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.
