Olga graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Archaeology from the University of Edinburgh in 2023. During her studies, she gained practical experience in commercial archaeology, working on a range of field projects across the UK. Her academic interests gradually shifted toward primate behaviour and evolutionary anthropology, which led her to explore the intersection of archaeology and primatology. She is currently working on her Master thesis under the supervision of Dr. Marlen Fröhlich, focusing on a multimodal approach to studying the greeting context in captive chimpanzee populations. Since the winter of 2025, she has also been employed as a research assistant on the project “Investigating hominin cultural evolution using inferences from naive primate manipulation and use of stone tools”.
