| Biography | I am a theoretical biologist working on social evolution theory and modelling behavioural evolution more generally. I have a Masters in computational biology from Imperial and I completed my DPhil at the University of Oxford. I was previously a Postdoctoral researcher at Cambridge in the department of Zoology and the Centre for the Future of Intelligence. |
| Research Interests | I am interested in how evolution works and shapes complex animal behaviours. My work has focused on social evolution specifically the evolution of altruistic and spiteful trait in bacteria and multicellular life. I am also interested in using artificial life and simulations to ask more general questions about co-evolution and cooperation across species. I have recently also been working on the evolution of intelligence and how we can use major transitions theory to better understand the evolution of animal and non-animal intelligences. |
