Individual differences in facial expression
I am currently working on the FACEDIFF project, which is funded by the European Research Council. My current work focuses on linking individual differences in facial anatomy to facial behaviour.
Male-male competition and sexual dimorphism in rhesus macaques
My PhD research focused on understanding the selective mechanisms underlying the maintenance of sexual dimorphism in body mass and canine size in rhesus macaques. I investigated:
1) the function of canine teeth and body size as signals and/or weapons,
2) how wound risk relates to male reproductive strategies, and
3) age-specific selection on male body mass.

Hylobatid dental variation
I contributed to the description of a new gibbon species: Hoolock tianxing (also known as the Skywalker gibbon), and to a description of fossil hylobatid molars from the Pleistocene of southern China.
