Research
My research aims to understand the evolution and adaptive value of social behavior, using birds as a model group. My current work investigates sociality in superb starlings, a cooperatively breeding species found in East Africa. Previously, I have studied vocal communication in herring gulls and fairywrens.

I gave a talk in the Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series at Kennesaw State University. Thank you for the invitation and great discussion!
I gave a talk in the Long Term Animal Research seminar series organized by colleagues at Duke University. The session also featured a talk by my Ph.D. advisor, Dr. Dustin Rubenstein, and both talks were followed by a great discussion on the environmental drivers of social behavior in superb starlings and other cooperative societies.
