Postdoctoral Fellow in Animal Behavior, University of Exeter
I am a behavioural ecologist studying the evolution of social behaviour. My research is on great ape social behaviour with a particular focus on mountain gorillas and western lowland gorillas. I use long-term data and camera trapping to investigate gorilla society, modelling relationships within and between gorilla groups and how this influences their movement patterns.
I am currently based at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund‘s Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda and within Dr Lauren Brent‘s research group at the Centre for Research in Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter. Starting in June 2023 I will be an Ambizione Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Zurich. I completed my PhD at the University of Cambridge and conducted field work at Mbeli Bai, Nouabale-Ndoki National Park, Republic of Congo and Ngaga Research Site, Odzala National Park, Republic of Congo.
