Research interests
My research aims to validate novel indicators of animal affective states. I am particularly interested in testing the hypothesis that elevated waking inactivity in animals can indicate failures to adapt to welfare-challenging environments, and particularly depression-like states. I also aim to promote positive changes in practices in order to raise standards of welfare for non-human animals (e.g. laboratory and farmed rodents).
