We are a group of biologists and paleontologists studying the spatiotemporal diversity of Recent and fossil marine organisms.

Our current research topics include:

1. Deep time marine fauna in geologic time and geographic space: describing the diversity of marine fossil records at a global scale and exploring how geological events affect these communities;
2. Reconstruction of pristine marine ecosystems in everchanging world: using the youngest fossil record to provide a strong scientific basis for marine conservation decisions;
3. Development of diverse research platforms: enhancing local paleontology with various cutting-edge technology such as aDNA, μCT, AI.
