My research is primarily aimed at understanding of how individual behaviour and ecology interact to shape social structure, and the consequences of this for social processes (such as contagions) in societies. I enjoy collaborating across various topics in biology and beyond, such as using virtual systems to understand behaviour, assessing how sociality relates to health in wild mammalian populations, developing models of assessing the spread of conservation initiatives, and working with biomedical researchers in implementing big datasets to assess human health in relation to activity patterns.
