Ph.D. (2008) University of California Los Angeles Postdoctoral Scholar (2008-2009)University of California Los Angeles Assistant Researcher (2009-2010) University of California Los Angeles Marie Curie Research Fellow (1/2011-12/2012) University of Oxford Lecturer (2010-) University of Cyprus
Research Interest
Our research focuses on the interplay between ecology and animal communication. We explore how interspecific competition, the environment, and biogeography lead to phenotypic divergence between populations in birds, and how this impacts our understanding of community ecology and evolutionary diversification.
