I'm interested in the relationship between individuals and social structure, specifically feedback loops between diet and hierarchy. I approach this by reconstructing prehistoric human dietary variation and migration patterns with chemical (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur isotopes) and computational analyses.
I'm interested in relationships between human decision-making and emergent group-level behavior, and in understanding the structure and dynamics of processes through which social patterns emerge. I approach these questions by studying group-level behavior in online multiplayer games and feedback loops between diet and hierarchy among prehistoric human groups. Understanding how groups emerge gives us insight into how societies form, and into the dynamics behind other complex systems as well.
