Having received a Doctorate degree from the National Museum of Natural History of Paris, I am former Researcher of the French Institute of Andean Studies and currently Senior Researcher of the Argentinean Scientific and Technical National Research Council. As a paleontologist specializing in the systematics and evolution of South American Paleogene and Neogene mammals (e.g., Xenarthra), I have organized 25 field missions in several countries of South America. As a collaborator on a multidisciplinary team, I have also participated in the discovery of several new vertebrate communities in the Bolivian Altiplano and Peruvian Amazon and described new taxa, including several ground sloths.
