What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole,
the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on.
~ Jacques Yves Cousteau ~
I am a lecturer at the University of Southampton, based at the National Oceanography Centre. I run the Nadler Marine Behavior and Physiology (NMBP) Lab. The research in my lab focuses on the underlying mechanisms that cause animals to behave the way they do, particularly in group-living species. I am fascinated by the links between animal behavior and physiology, and aim to understand how these dynamics may change in response to biotic (e.g., parasite infection) or abiotic (e.g., environmental disturbance) factors.
