Jake Brooker

I am a postdoctoral research associate studying comparative psychology in great apes. My research interests include empathy and other emotional processes, decision-making, rationality, conflict management, and individual and group-level variation in the aforementioned concepts.

I have worked with captive, wild, and sanctuary-living populations of primates. My current research is focused on great apes, but I have interests in and some experience studying human populations. I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the University of Kent and my PhD at Durham University, where I now work.
