Main Focus

I am a bioarchaeologist specialising in the paleopathology including traumatic injuries, joint diseases, and tumors (malignant and benign) on the human skeletal remains from Mongolia and its relationship with their daily lifestyle, environmental condition, diet, and activity patterns. As well as, I am interested to focus on infectious diseases, their origin, prevalence, and impacts on the Bronze Age population from Mongolia based on the results of paleopathological and pathogenesis studies for further.

Currently, my research at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology is seeking to clarify the social stratification of Bronze Age populations in western and central Mongolia, especially the people who left Khirigsuur and Deer stone culture in those areas, through bioarchaeological (skeletal) and geospatial/typological (burial) analysis.
