University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI)
I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan specializing in primate behavioral ecology and endocrinology. My dissertation research focuses on the behavioral and hormonal factors that influence social bonding, cooperation, and alternative reproductive tactics among male geladas (Theropithecus gelada). I conduct this work in the Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia--a UNESCO World Heritage Site "In Danger".
