Biography

During my time at Cambridge, I researched how populations of corvids (birds in the crow family) respond with learning to human-induced changes in the environment. My current work applies my background in animal learning to help conserve critically endangered species. Specifically, I contribute to conservation breeding and species' translocations programs by helping build evidence-based approaches for recovery. More broadly I am interested in how areas of animal cognition and behaviour can be utilized in conservation contexts, and have been championing the integration of these fields.
