个人简介

2015-Present Independent Research Fellow, University of Cambridge I am starting exciting new research focusing on the male side of elephant ecology and conservation 2014-2015 Leverhulme Trust funded Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Sheffield I co-supervised two excellent Master's students working on the evolution of elephant growth and reproductive strategies 2010-2014 PhD, University of Sheffield I did my PhD on how life history of Asian elephants is influenced by environmental factors- including climate and stress. I continue to collaborate with the Myanmar Timber Elephant Project.

研究领域

Elephants are charismatic megafauna, with a unique cultural significance to humans. And they're also my study system. I'm interested in how elephants relate to their social, physical and human environment. My current research focuses on male African elephants. Males are possibly less well-understood that females, but understanding them better could be key to conservation of the species. Particularly because males may be more likely to be involved in human-elephant conflict. I'll be looking into male sociality, relatedness, vocalisations and other characteristics with the aim of informing conservation strategies. Please see my website for more details.
