Research interests
I am interested in all aspects of evolutionary biology and behavioural ecology. My main focus is on social evolution. How cooperation between individuals can emerge is a key issue for evolutionary biologists. It is particularly important in humans because we participate in many social dilemmas (e.g. climate, conservation problems). Findings in this field could potentially be used to find solutions to these dilemmas.
