My research interests lie at the intersection between evolution, behavior, ecology, and theory -- I use models (supported by a wide reading of the empirical literature) to understand how organisms can use behavior to adapt to their environments.

I am currently a postdoc (on an NSF IRFP grant), based in Hanna Kokko's lab at the ANU. In August 2014 I will start as an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota (read more).
