I am a CNRS faculty at ISEM at the Université de Montpellier in France. My research is broadly related to mammalian evo-devo with a special focus on bats as a hyperdiverse model group. In particular, I am interested in how the inherent structure of developmental mechanisms facilitate or constrain organ and shape evolution, and as a result, species evolution in response to environmental pressures. In addition, I am involved in other collaborations such as bat sensory systems evolution, bat diet evolution and evolutionary rules on Earth and beyond. .
