My research is aimed at understanding of how ecology and individual behaviour interact to shape social structure, and the consequences of this for social processes (such as contagions) in societies. I also enjoy collaborating across various topics in biology and beyond, such as using virtual systems to understand mechanisms within social networks, assessing how sociality relates to health in wild mammalian populations, developing models for examining the spread of behaviors, and working with biomedical researchers in implementing big datasets for understanding human health.
