Our research group is focused on understanding how animals navigate towards their goals. This encompasses a variety of movements, including fine-scale adjustments of the head or legs, rapid chases and escapes in complicated environments, and the ability to find their way home. We study diverse groups of invertebrates across distinct natural landscapes in Australia and across the world. 

In addition to exploring the behaviours of these animals, we identify the neural basis of locomotory behaviours. We primarily work with species that have mini-nervous systems, which allows us to investigate their physiology, map their neural circuitry, and determine the pathways involved in goal-directed movement - an essential aspect to survive for all animals.
