I am a behavioural and evolutionary biologist, with a special interest in the
evolution of information use for decision-making in animals.

How does the use of personal and social information affect habitat selection in different contexts?

How did such behaviours evolve and are affected by individual experience, personality and cognitive abilities?

I target these questions using birds as model systems, and a combination of experimental, empirical and modelling approaches.
