■ Profile
My research interests focus on ecology and animal behavior, especially social behavior during interactions with conspecifics or even heterospecifics. I noticed the limitations in studying animal behavior, so I expanded my focus to a higher level to examine how animals interact with other species and their environment. Additionally, I also delve into the brains of animals to explore the "black box" that drives their behavior. I try to integrate different research areas such as psychology and environmental science to find new perspectives on animal behavior.
