I am a behavioural ecologist with expertise in animal behaviour, conservation, and bioacoustics, with a strong focus on mechanistic approaches. My research has two major themes: My first research focus investigates the extent to which prenatal experiences affect the development of postnatal cognition, behaviours and fitness. My second research focus identifies ecological and behavioural processes that influence population dynamics and animal response to environmental and human-induced changes.
