Cultural Evolution
Cultural traditions, such as language and music, arise from complex cultural processes of human interaction and the transmission of knowledge. My work examines such processes by combining computational methods with cultural transmission experiments in complex production modalities, such as music and art. For example, I study how music changes over time as it is orally transmitted across participants, and how such dynamics are shaped by selection processes and underlying network structures.

I am a Lecturer in Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London and co-director of Music, Mind, and Brain. My research uses computational methods and innovative behavioural experiments to study how psychology and culture shape the ways people create and experience music, aesthetics, and the arts.
