个人简介
I joined the University of Lincoln School of Life Sciences on 3rd September 2012 as a NERC Advanced Research Fellow. I shall take a position as Senior Lecturer in the School starting in January 2014. I graduated in Natural Sciences (Systematic Zoology) from University of Bari, Italy, and received my PhD in Palaeontology from Birkbeck College (Biology Department), University of London, and the London Natural History Museum (Palaeontology Department). I carried out postdoctoral research at University College London (Department of Biology), University of Chicago (Department of Organismal Biology and Anatomy), the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago (Geology Department), and University of Bristol (School of Earth Sciences).
