Nice to meet you! My name’s Nicolas.
I’m a PhD student at Columbia Unversity in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
I’m also a Graduate Student Fellow at the American Natural History Museum in the Division of Vertebrate Paleontology and the Richard Gilder Graduate School.
I study paleobiology, macroevolution, ecomorphology, and the effects of long-term climate change on the evolution of body shape and size in camels, horses, antelopes, and other herbivorous terrestrial ungulates of the (relatively) recent past.
I’m also interested in developing new ways of using the fossil record to reconstruct past climate.
Jin Meng is my Ph.D. supervisor, and I’m also advised by John Flynn and Roger Benson. In the past, I carried out research at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin and at the Natural History Museum London.
Outside of my scientific work, I make art and co-direct the Institute of Queer Ecology. I live in New York City.
Send me an email if you want to get in touch.
