Teaching

My main teaching interests are animal behavior and behavioural physiology (in particular endocrinology), as well as some molecular genetics. 

I look at behavioural and physiological mechanisms from an evolutionary and developmental perspective. I favour experimental approaches and have ample experience with setting up behavioural experiments and hormonal and genetic techniques. Ideally this is linked to the study of animals in the wild.

At ²ÝùÊÓƵ University I currently teach on a range of modules in this area both for bachelor and master degrees.
