Overview
I am a field primatologist and behavioural ecologist investigating the development and evolution of social behaviour in group-living mammals. My current interest is in understanding how various genetic, social, and environmental factors affect ageing and senescence in primates, particularly in the context of social behaviour (social ageing).
