My interest is in social decision making processes and the development of social skills in nonhumans. I am particularly curious about the proximate mechanisms that may underlie social interaction such as intention-reading, planning and reciprocity, and how these mediators evolved. Current research focuses on our closest extant relatives, chimpanzees and ...

Primates in the wild face complex foraging decisions: choosing the most ‘valuable’ of potential resources to exploit, remembering the location and navigating between widely distributed options, and dealing with conspecifics that are attempting to do the same thing. My research focuses on how animals solve these problems. Specifically, I examine how ...

My research focuses on the physiological, behavioral, and environmental drivers of infection in wild primate populations. In particular, I study the immunomodulatory effects of stress and sex hormones in geladas (Theropithecus gelada), and how these factors, along with changes in biodiversity due to anthropogenic land use, contribute to the development ...

Humans are incredibly skillful in working with others. We cooperate in large-scale for a long term with unfamiliar strangers even in a costly way. However, how human cooperation evolved remains a mystery. Are we ultra-cooperators because we evolved to be genuinely altruistic to others or because we became more trusting to strangers? I study the psychological mechanisms of cooperation and trust in humans, nonhuman primates and dogs. I take a comparative approach to examine what are ...
