I'm looking for a graduate student (either PhD or master's) to join my lab starting Jan 2026. If you know any students in social behavior and evolution (and termites!), please let them know!

Our new preprint is out! We analyzed the role of antennae movement while tandem running in termites with SLEAP.ai (video is also generated from this).

We’re looking for an assistant professor in urban entomology at New Mexico State University: careers.nmsu.edu/jobs/assista...

I'm looking for a graduate student (master's level) to join my lab starting Fall 2025. If you know any undergraduates interested in termite behavior and evolution, please let them know!

Our paper is out from BiolLett! We study termite mating "swarms" from the perspective of collective behavior and found
- Alates synchronize flight even under constant temperature.
- Synchronization is stronger in larger colonies (preliminary)

A new paper on termite mate pairing has been published. We showed how termites change their movement pattern and mate choice strategy when they cannot find a partner for a while.
