Dr. Adrian Soldati is a Researcher affiliated with the University of St Andrews' School of Psychology and Neuroscience. His work focuses on primate behavior and cognition, particularly the evolution of communication systems in chimpanzees and bonobos. He investigates how these primates' communication informs our understanding of human language origins.
Dr. Soldati holds a cotutelle PhD from the University of St Andrews and the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. His research combines field observations with cutting-edge methodologies like thermal imaging and AI-driven analysis to study vocal ontogeny, gestural dialects, and social behavior in wild populations.
Key research foci include chimpanzee vocal communication, the role of audience in displays, and cross-species comparisons to uncover evolutionary pathways. His collaborative projects span multiple field sites, including Uganda's Budongo Forest, and involve partnerships with institutions worldwide.
Recent work highlights rhythmicity in chimpanzee drumming, dialect variation in gestures, and the application of neural networks to analyze primate vocalizations. These studies contribute broadly to primatology, cognitive science, and evolutionary biology.
