Aditya is a student from Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, studying a master's course in Evolution, Ecology and Systematics. He is currently completing his thesis externally, with the Pathways to Language group, where he is working with Deborah on analysing field data on orangutans. With a focus on cognition and communication, Aditya has worked on a range of species—including field projects with lizards in India, and exploring lateralisation in birds—before turning to primates.
