RESEARCH INTERESTS
My interests include the evolutionary function of both humor and laughter. I am also
interested in why humor has attained such a critical role across human societies and social groups and what role laughter plays in communication.

CURRENT PROJECTS
My dissertation research was conducted on the evolution of life history traits including reproduction and fertility.
