Mansoura, Egypt

I am a PhD student at the Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Center, Mansoura University, Egypt. My primary research focus is on the evolution and paleontology of marine mammals, especially the earliest cetaceans and sirenians. Most recently, I led the naming and description of Phiomicetus anubis, an ancient amphibious four-legged whale from the Sahara Desert of Egypt, which has improved our understanding of the prehistory of Africa during the Eocene
