Présentation

I am an analytical chemist by training, and I apply my skills in the fields of archaeology and environmental sciences. Since 2020, I am Associate-Professor, habil. at [Aix Marseille University](https://www.univ-amu.fr/) (France) working at [CEREGE](https://www.cerege.fr/en/) (Centre Européen de Recherche et d’Enseignement en Géosciences de l’Environnement). My main research focus is on understanding connections between human, fauna, climate and environmental conditions during the late Pleistocene. Previously, I worked at the British Museum in the scientific department where I conducted research on the characterisation of ancient organic materials in the museum collections (food residues, colourants) and at the University of Oxford where my research was focused on improving the radiocarbon dating methodology (the sample purification in particular) to make it more reliable. I then applied it to bone fragments, mostly from the Upper Palaeolithic period, and demonstrated that dates previously obtained on collagen often severely underestimated the true age due to unremoved contamination in the samples. I have worked on a wide range of specimens from Eurasia (France, Belgium, Spain, Czechia, Croatia, Russia, Mongolia and China), and on several sites in the Americas to identify more precisely the period during which the first humans colonised this continent.
