WORK PROFILE
Career
In 2015 I started as a graduate student in the Collective Behaviour lab at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology. As a group we study collective behaviour on many different scales; from insect swarms, to shoals of fish, bird flocks and mammal groups. Our lab is made up of evolutionary biologists and behavioural ecologists, as well as neuroethologists, mathematicians, and physicists.
My own PhD focuses on the foraging behaviour of predators. Specifically, I want to understand how predators hunt collectively reactive prey, and how prey reactions can change the hunting tactics of predators. This dynamic behavioural feedback loop between predator and prey is to me a fascinating aspect of animal behaviour, and one I want to explore further.
