I study the mechanisms underpinning human cumulative culture. I'm particularly interested in the psychological mechanisms involved in the production and transmission of cultural information, and how the interaction between these psychological mechanisms and population structure impacts the cultural accumulation process. To address these issues, I use computer-based experiments in which volunteers are asked to improve virtual artifacts. Since September 2017, I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow working with Alex Mesoudi at the University of Exeter Cornwall Campus.
