​​I am a behavioral ecologist broadly interested in the evolution and mechanisms of sociality. 

I take an integrative approach to study the evolution of complex social behavior, linking physiological mechanisms, behavioral phenotypes, and ecological forces.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department for the Ecology of Animal Societies at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and a research affiliate in the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour at the University of Konstanz.
