Summary

I am interested in the food we eat, where it comes from, and how our diets have been shaped by changes in environment, climate and human activities through time. In a world where the environment is increasingly under duress, I am also interested in how animals adapt their foraging strategies to the changing conditions. To investigate these research questions, I use biochemical and naturally occurring isotope markers (both bulk and compound specific) on geological, biological and archaeological samples. Because stable isotope ratios of our samples are determined by multi-faceted processes (i.e. geological, chemical, ecological, and biological), my work has a strong interdisciplinary focus.
