Profile

Elliot is a postdoctoral research affiliate in Alex Mielke’s group, primarily based at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour in Konstanz, Germany, within the Development and Evolution of Cognition Group.

Their research focuses on the origins of human language and culture through the study of nonhuman primates' behaviors. This includes investigating how primates use social learning to acquire repertoires of ecologically relevant knowledge and examining how they organize fine-grained actions when performing highly technical skills.
