From 2005-2009, I did my PhD at the University of Zurich (Switzerland) which involved a pioneering 20-month study on the social organisation and ecology of wild snub-nosed monkeys in China (done in collaboration with the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences). From 2009-2011, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig (Germany). My postdoc included 18 months of research on the socioecology of the mountain gorilla population in Rwanda. In 2012, I took up a Faculty position in the School of Anatomy, Physiology and Human Biology (now School of Human Sciences) at UWA. I currently holds a joint affiliation with the Centre for Evolutionary Biology in the School of Biological Sciences. I'm also a research fellow in UWA’s Africa Research and Engagement Centre and Adjunct Professor at Dali University (China).

My primary research interests lie at the interface of behavioural ecology and evolutionary anthropology and include the evolution of primate/human sociality. My particular interests revolve around the evolutionary causes and consequences of meta-group social organization (the existence of tolerant relationships between social groups) and multilevel societies (the organization of core social units into a larger collective encompassing multiple nested social levels). A second focus area of research pivots on how certain primates are able to cope with the demands of living in marginal montane environments in both the temperate zone and the tropics. I am involved in ongoing field research projects on snub-nosed monkeys in China and maintain an active field research program in Rwanda where I and my PhD students are conducting eco-behavioural research on chimpanzees.
