Research Interests
Behavioral Genomics in Primate species. Investigating the genetic basis of social behaviors, mating systems, and group dynamics across primate species.
Methodology Development in Behavioral Genomics. Creation of tools and frameworks to integrate genetic, microbial, and behavioral data for cross-species analysis.
Conservation Applications of diverse Datasets– Leveraging insights from research with the intention to enhance conservation strategies for endangered Species
Research Description
Through my research, I hope to explore how genetic and microbial data interactions shape social behavior in primates. My interests lie in the combination of genomic and microbial datasets in addition to behavioral observations for the sake of discovering potential patterns across and between species. I am interested in developing computational methodologies to improve how these connections are studied in the future.
