Research interests
My current role involves work on a project which aims to validate indicators of depression-like states in animals. This work involves the development of methodologies for assessing animal emotions and decisions.
I have also worked on projects which have aimed to develop behavioural and welfare assessments for use in a range of animal systems, including farms and abattoirs.
