Research overview
I have a broad research interest, but my main research theme lies in the evolution of cognition. Research fields/topics that I am highly interested in include urban wildlife cognition, cognitive ecology, animal behaviour and cognition, comparative cognition, problem solving, and innovation.
I take interdisciplinary approach (incorporating psychology such as animal behaviour/animal cognition, ecology such as behavioural ecology, and evolution) to answer my research questions. My work is funded by external sources such as ASAB, JSPS.
Depending on the research question, I work with different animal species that include honeybees and bumblebees, pigeons, various endangered species of parrots (e.g, Great Green Macaws, Blue-throated Macaws). However, my main study models have been in grey squirrels, Sciurus carolinensis, and red squirrels, S. vulgaris.
