Personal profile
Research overview
I am a Lecturer at the School of Psychology & Neuroscience at the University of St. Andrews.
I hold a B.A. Hons. in Biological Sciences from the University of Oxford and a PhD in Comparative Psychology from the University of Auckland, in New Zealand.
I am interested in how evolutionary pressures have shaped the minds of different species, and which cognitive mechanisms animals employ while interacting with the world around them. My current work focuses on social cognition and communication in apes and dogs.
