Comparing the Effects of Early Experience and Cognitive Plasticity across the Great Ape Species
REFNo: NS27ES
The main aim of the project is to compare developmental- and experience effects both within and across ape species. First, I aim to investigate the influence of rearing histories (mother reared, wild born, sanctuary born, zoo housed, sanctuary housed, human hand reared etc) on cognitive skills within ape species. Second, by acknowledging individual differences due to rearing histories, this project will deliver meaningful comparisons, where individuals of similar experiences are compared across great ape species. In addition, it allows me to evaluate the strength of experience effects by examining if the change in problem-solving abilities linked to rearing experiences and human contact can even outweigh intrinsic species differences.

Agency and Policy Change Shaping the Solar Energy Transitions in Uganda
REFNo: SS80ES
The overarching objective of this research is to capture the macro-dynamics and the socio-technical changes affecting the solar energy transitions, through an understanding of agency in institutions and policy changes. The aim is to study the electrification strategy at the national level, and with a specific focus at the rural electrification level - to examine the role, developments and debates in the solar energy sector (both grid and off-grid). Through this, the study will deconstruct the role of decentralized modern energy (such as off-grid solar) in alleviating energy access, the debates/contestations among the electricity institutions, the role of political forces in shaping the energy mix, and what does such a transition mean in a larger socio-economic and political context.
This PhD project will help in a better understanding of the factors that support a transition to sustainable energy system and overall sustainable development in developing countries (which have a very low electrification rates at present). At the same time, the PhD project aims to provide a greater understanding of the role of transnational linkages and stakeholders within a national context, and the development of an innovation system in the solar sector in Uganda (in terms of changes in the local institutional and socio-economic structures, local competence-building and experience-based learning). The development of institutions and technical-economic capacities at a local level will create further market opportunities for private sector intervention in the solar sector.

How infants perceive the world: assessing the current impact of mountain gorilla ecotourism in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda), through the eyes of the youngsters
REFNo: NS29ES
This project aims to understand the social development of immature individuals within a group and how they react to human presence. Specifically, this study aims to: 1) analyse immature`s behaviour during tourist visits, 2) analyse adult`s role in these interactions and 3) changes in the groups social dynamics. This research will follow that of Muyambi, 2005, who assessed the general tourism impact on the gorillas` behaviour. Hence, the current project may have important and practical applications in gorilla conservation, via for example, guidelines for ecotourism. Such guidelines should focus on minimizing disturbance levels for the animals and, simultaneously, refining tourist education regarding behaviour in front of gorillas, promoting the animal`s typical calm behaviour. This aims to decrease potential risks of conflicts as well as building visitors` sense of responsibility. Such work may also help local communities to develop ecotourism in a more sustainable way.
