Biologist and palaeontologist working at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (Paris) on the evolution of teleost fishes. Prior to that, I have worked at the University of Oxford and at the Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin).

My main ID expertise is on birds and ray-finned fishes, particularly of the West Palearctic.
I'm an iNat curator and mostly get involved in ray-finned fish taxonomy updates nowadays.
I'm creator and administrator of the "Deep-sea fishes" iNat project : https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/deep-sea-fishes
