PhD student at the department of Biology, University of Oxford, University of Oxford I am interested in ageing, sex, and phenotypic plasticity, and how these drive evolutionary and ecological processes. I am currently studying for a phd, where I investigate different aspects of sperm ageing, it’s causes, and consequences on fitness and sexual selection, using jungle fowl and fruit flies. I also use meta-analytical methods to analyse data on male reproductive ageing.
