About

Bio

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Swiss Center for Affective Sciences in Geneva. I am working with Prof. Thibaud Gruber to study social learning in children. I am also an external collaborator at the University of Lausanne with Prof. Erica van de Waal, conducting analyses using data from her long term vervet monkey field site, the Inkawu Vervet Project.

During my PhD, supervised by Prof. Andy Whiten, I studied behavioural flexibility and social tolerance in chimpanzees, using artificial foraging tasks, as well as studying mechanisms of social transmission in four- to eight-year-old children. In addition to this research, I collaborated with colleagues to study model-biases in children’s social learning.
