Assistant Professor in Faculty of Sciences. Department of Biological Sciences. Animal Biology Program.
I am currently an assistant professor in Animal Biology Program. I started my scientific journey in KU with a B.Sc. in Animal Biology and M.SC. In Marine Science. I had my Ph.D. in 2011 from University of Manchester (Faculty of Life Sciences/Neuroscience Department) where I conducted my research in Neuroethology (Neurobiological Aspects in Animal Behavior). My research theme is studying the correlations between hormones and animal behavior and Neuroethology.
