Research:
Broadly, I am interested in studying human attraction and close relationships from an evolutionary psychological perspective. I am currently studying changes in women's behavior, physiology, and scent across the menstrual cycle and the ability of men to detect these changes. In the future, I plan to examine factors, such as testosterone, sexual history, and relationship status that may predict men's preference for the scent of high fertility over low fertility women.
