Research/Career Interests:
I am a bioacoustician broadly interested in the interplay among vocal complexity, social complexity, and culture in animals. Much of my past research has focused on measuring how animal communication varies over space and time, as well as developing new methods for classifying vocalizations and deducing population structure from acoustic data. As a postdoctoral research in LABIRINTO and MMBEL, I am investigating dolphin social communication during intraspecific cooperative foraging tasks and bowhead whale song diversity in different populations.
