I am a part-time lecturer in wildlife and primate conservation. My research focuses on primate behavioural ecology and conservation at the Issa research site and the Greater Mahale Ecosystem (GME) in western Tanzania. Please see GMERC website below.
I have particular interests in great ape nest-building behaviour, sleep, and flexibility in sociality - in particular adaptation of chimpanzees to savanna woodland habitat. I also am involved in ongoing monitoring of chimpanzee and other wildlife populations across the GME using traditional line transect, genetic techniques, and other technologies including drones and camera trapping.
