I am a Behavioural Ecologist with interests in animal social behavior. I work mostly on the mechanisms of social behavior, ornamentation and neurobiological factors that regulate and modulate complex behaviors. I mainly perform behavioural experiments. Currently I am the principal investigator of an ongoing project investigating the interaction of neurobiology and social behavior in a gregarious avian model species. I will investigate how monoamine and nonapeptide pathways influence individual behavior, and how these behavioral effects scale up to influence social network structure and dynamics.
