About

I’m a lecturer in psychology at Swansea University. My research revolves around the idea that theories from evolutionary biology can shed light on human psychology. In particular, I’m interested in the evolutionary origins of human mating behaviour and altruistic behaviour. I also have a long-standing interest in the philosophical implications of evolutionary theory and evolutionary psychology. Before moving to Wales, I spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow at McMaster University in Canada, working in the lab of Martin Daly and Margo Wilson, and before that I did a Ph.D. in psychology and philosophy at Massey University in New Zealand (which is where I'm from).
