Research areas
I'm a behavioural ecologist interested in the proximate mechanisms and the ultimate functions underlying social behaviours in mammals. Currently, I'm working with Dr Manon Schweinfurth to understand the ontogeny of social competence and cooperative behaviours in wild-type female rats.
