As a paleontologist and evolutionary biologist I am interested in the evolution, ecology, and biogeography of cats in general, including the extinct groups. As such, my contribution to the CSG has mainly involved issues of taxonomy and phylogeny. Currently, I am interested in the evolutionary relationship between, origin, and diversification of the cat subfamilies: the living Felinae and extinct Machairodontinae. This work involves both anatomical and genomic studies.
