As a researcher in the field of human-animal coexistence in the Global South, I am dedicated to exploring the complex interplay between urban ecology and cultural practices. Our research group focuses on the movement and behavioral patterns of opportunistic animals in urban environments, and how these patterns impact demographic outcomes and ecosystem services.
I am leading the development of PAWS-Web, a platform for building the Science of Tropical Cities, which seeks to enhance ecosystem integrity in rapidly urbanizing regions. Our work is guided by the principle of One Health, and focuses on understanding how behavioral ecology mediates the relationships between animal populations, disease transmission, and human health. Our research is also informed by the longstanding cultural traditions of feeding and protecting non-human animals in many developing countries, and we aim to provide scientific insights into this important aspect of human-animal coexistence.
