Research
Research in my laboratory focuses on the assessment and
improvement of animal welfare. I am particularly interested in
developing environmental enrichment strategies for small
laboratory animals (rodents, rabbits) and captive/domesticated
birds. In addition, I conduct behavioral research on poultry
(chickens, quail, ducks) directed toward improving aspects of
their housing, handling, and management.
