I have two main threads of interest related to psychology: (i) applications of quantitative methods to psychology research; and (ii) examining the extent and limitations of combining evolutionary and comparative psychology approaches to traditional frameworks in cognitive, cultural, and social psychology. Apart from psychology, I have an amateurish interest in history, politics, anthropology.
