Welcome! This website is mainly about sharing my experience as a field and lab cognitive ecologist exploring the origins of disgust through the evolution of parasite and pathogen avoidance behaviors in animals.

Over the last few years, I also became interested in the potential applications of risk perception (disease, predation and competition) to wildlife management, conservation and animal welfare.

I have occupied postdoctoral positions at Kyoto University, The University of Hong Kong, Nagoya University, the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse, and I am now a UKRI/Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at Swansea University, Wales, UK.
