Biography
[edit]Tardieu was born in Boulogne-Billancourt on 28 April 1949.[1] In 1987, she presented her thesis titled "Development of a new computerized method for three-dimensional analysis of bipedal walking for the study of the displacements of the body's centers of gravity: application to humans and non-human primates".[2] She specializes in functional morphology and biomechanics, with a particular focus on the origin and progression of human bipedalism.[1] The psychosocial aspects of this evolution are significant in her research.[3] Tardieu participated in research on Lucy with the French contingent studying it.[4] Additionally, her research related to the fossils from the African Great Lakes and Ethiopia has allowed her to push back the date of hominid presence in this subregion.[5] She collaborated with Brigitte Senut on these research projects.[4][5]
In 1989, she received the Philip Morris Scientific Prize and the Bonnet Prize from the French Academy of Sciences.[1] During this time, the researcher joined the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and became a research director within the institution, while also starting to work for the National Museum of Natural History, within the comparative anatomy laboratory.[1]
She appears in French media to share and explain her field of study.[6][7]
