I am an assistant research fellow at the Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica (BRCAS), Taipei, Taiwan. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. I obtained my PhD from the University of Bari in Italy in 2017. I am interested in a researcher position where I can utilize my knowledge in taxonomy, marine ecology, paleontology, and conservation paleobiology.

As a paleoecologist, I primarily study fish otoliths to answer their taxonomic and ecological questions. Much of my current work focuses on conservation paleobiology. I use sea bottom materials as a study system and aim to understand how fish communities have changed over time in the latest fossil record. I also work on deep time fossil otoliths to address their paleoecological, biogeographical and evolutionary aspects.
