Hi. I am an EU-funded Postdoctoral Fellow working on the CULTAPTATION project in the group of Kevin Laland. I have previously worked mostly on wild cetaceans, but now I am developing theoretical investigations of the evolution of social learning strategies, as well as getting involved in experimental studies of learning. I am primarily interested in the evolution of social learning, communication systems and culture, but maintain broader based interests in ecology, behaviour and conservation.
An important part of my CULTAPTATION work is the running of a computer tournament of social learning strategies. There is a large cash prize! Click here to find out more.
