I am a Junior Research Fellow at Christ Church College, Oxford. I'm currently studying the effects of mating on female aggression in fruit flies, and looking at female-female violence in humans. I finished my DPhil in Zoology at Oxford in 2016, where I studied female aggression in stalk-eyed flies and fruit flies with Drs Stuart Wigby, Nathalie Seddon, and Joseph Tobias. I did my undergraduate work at the University of New South Wales from 2007-2011. My Honours research was based in Dr Russell Bonduriansky’s lab, working on the roles of genital morphology and mating behaviour in two species of neriid flies.
