I am a behavioural ecologist working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department for the Ecology of Animal Societies at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, in Constance, Germany, and am otherwise affiliated with the the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
I am broadly interested in building bridges between theory and data to explain variation in animal behaviour. In my current research, I focus on social behaviour by combining probabilistic and causal modelling tools to study the causes and consequences of animal social network structure.
I also have a personal “blog” here, where I simply list things — films, novels, anything — that have affected me.
