Research Interests
The evolutionary psychology of human sexuality, mate choice, person perception, and social cognition, including ovulatory cycle influences on women’s sexual strategies and mate preferences
Human mental traits (e.g. language, intelligence, creativity, music, art, humor, and moral virtues) as fitness indicators (costly, reliable signals of phenotypic condition and genetic quality) shaped by sexual selection and social selection
Clinical applications of fitness indicator theory to understand the evolutionary genetics, phenotypic symptoms, and demographics of schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, autism, personality disorders, and sexual dysfunctions
Evolutionary consumer psychology, including conspicuous consumption, consumer preferences, product design, marketing, advertising, branding, consulting, and social policy issues
The behaviour genetics, evolutionary genetics, and genetic architecture of intelligence, personality, and psychopathology
Behavioral economics, adaptive judgment and decision-making, strategic behavior, adaptive unpredictability, and evolutionary game theory
Moral psychology, the origins and functions of human moral virtues, effective altruism, ethical investment, business ethics, conspicuous charity, virtue-signaling
The control problem and existential risks of strong AI; evolutionary approaches to artificial intelligence and autonomous adaptive behavior (genetic algorithms for neural network design, evolutionary robotics, artificial life); computer simulations of evolution, including models of mate choice, runaway sexual selection, sympatric speciation, biodiversity, co-evolution, and protean behavior
