​​Strategies, success and social interaction: An evolutionary approach to video game behaviour​
I currently work on behaviour selection in a social network context using video game data. Among other things, I want to identify the relationship between performance and strategy selection among and within social groups. I also aim to merge the approaches of game theory and social network analysis to better describe the dynamics of frequency dependent strategies in socially heterogeneous populations. In a partnership with the video game company Behaviour Interactive, I use an ecological and evolutionary framework and techniques to facilitate the design of ever-changing multiplayer online games.

Quantifying how habitat structure and learning experience shape selection on predator behaviour using videogame environments
​Predators display different tactics to successfully capture prey. The expression of these tactics can be mediated by their hunting experience and the habitat structures where they hunt. The main objective of my research is to quantify how habitat structure and predator hunting experience cause and shape selection on predator behaviour, using a videogame that simulates a predator-prey interaction. An advantage of using videogames is that we recreate "real-life" situations where we can manipulate environmental components experimentally to infer their effect on behaviour. They also provide us with massive amounts of data, giving the opportunity to measure multiple behavioural variables across different environmental gradients. Manipulating environmental components to understand evolutionnary change is a major challenge in evolutionnary ecology. My project should help us uncover how predator experience and habitat structure interact to shape selection on hunting behaviour.
