I'm a Behavioural Ecologist fascinated by cooperation and communication in animal social groups. In January 2020 I joined the Univeristy of New England, NSW, Australia, as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. My work brings together three major areas of research activity — communication (specifically the use of social information), cooperation, and social relationships — to enhance our understanding of sociality.
