Within primate behavioral ecology, he specifically has interests in endocrinology and the use of wildlife technology, such as drones and GPS collars. Additionally, he helps with field research on chimpanzees in Uganda and monitor the use of non-human primates in biomedical research.

R R
Research interests: My current research is focused on analysis of trauma and disease markers in ancient mummified and skeletal remains. My primary interests are paleopathology, forensic analysis, trauma, and mechanisms of injury, with secondary interests in infectious disease, evolutionary genetics, functional morphology, and comparative anatomy/physiology. My research is reliant on medical imaging, photogrammetry, and modeling, as well as archaeological fieldwork, lab work, and museum collections. I am also interested in the legal and ethical concerns of working with human remains.
Research interests: Islamic and Arabic studies, religious studies.
Research interests: Islamic Ethics, Philosophy of Ethics, and Sufism.
Research interests: My primary research interest is in Medieval Islamic ethics, particularly in Medieval Persian and Arabic ethico-didactic texts. Another closely related facet of my primary focus involves exploring the interplay of the concept of 'adab,' which encompasses decorum, discipline, and proper behavior, with ethics. This exploration aims to shed light on the understanding of ethical cultivation and moral frameworks.
Research interests: I would like to focus on the philologic approach to the hieroglyphic language and its cultural and historical development, as well as its influence on later languages such as Arabic.
