My research interests are behavioural ecology, social interactions, cultural behaviour, and cognition. After my BSc I worked as a field assistant for one year at the Kalahari Meerkat Project in South Africa and conducted my own independent analysis project on meerkat behaviour. I then did a MSc on cognitive biology at the University of Vienna under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Bugnyar. I designed and conducted several observational and experimental studies to investigate social behaviour and cognitive abilities of common ravens. I am doing a research internship in Jolle’s group studying predator-prey interactions and the role of phenotypic variation on individual survival in three-spined sticklebacks.
