Alexander Olegovich Averianov is a Russian palaeontologist best known for his studies of therapsid evolution, particularly of mammaliamorphs.

Career

[edit]

Averianov graduated from Leningrad State University with a degree from the Department of Vertebrate Zoology in 1988. During his doctoral research, Averianov studied the evolution and phylogeny of lagomorphs. He has conducted fieldwork in Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. He is currently a member of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology as well as the Paleontological Society and Theriological Society in Russia.[1]
