Research Interests

I am an Anthropology DPhil student at the University of Oxford, under the supervision of Professor Susana Carvalho and Professor Julia Fischer. For my DPhil research, I am using camera trap data to investigate the effects of seasonality, major climatic events, and changes in the landscape of fear on baboons and vervet monkeys in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. Whilst increasing knowledge of primate behavioural ecology, I am particularly interested in the implications of my research for the field of human evolution, specifically how my findings may inform understanding of the ways ecological change could have shaped the lives and evolution of our own hominin lineage.
