I completed my Masters in Biological Science at UWA in 2022, my thesis focused on the effect of inbreeding on offspring survival in European royal families. I am currently in my 2nd year of my PhD at UWA.
Research
My current research focuses on the role of cognition, individual, and social learning in the green-head ant, Rhytidoponera metallica. I aim to establish whether intraspecific variation in cognition exists within- and between-colonies, and investigate the relationship between individual cognitive ability and group tasks.
