I am a cognitive zoologist. That means that I compare cognitive functions across species in order to understand cognitive evolution. This type of research aims at gaining a deeper understanding of cognition as a biological phenomenon.

I work with an array of species. Among them, corvids, great apes, crocodilians, ostrich-like birds and marsupials. I study both complex cognition and fundamental functions. One of my interests is to recreate the cognition of extinct animals, such as dinosaurs, by comparing the cognition of their nearest living relatives. One of my other interests is the philosophy of animal minds.

I am a research leader for several different projects. I am also scientific director for research facilities. I most often supervise PhD-students, and teach in cognitive zoology and in other cognitive sciences.

In the Research Portal you can search and find information about all active researchers, units, publications, projects, infrastructures, and more, to get an overview of Lund University research.
