Dr. Sarah Collins is Associate Professor in Animal Behaviour & Welfare and Associate Head of School for Marketing, Recruitment and Outreach at the University of Plymouth's School of Biological and Marine Sciences. Her research spans animal behaviour, welfare assessment, and conservation biology with focus areas including affective state indicators in horses and reproductive success in stone curlews. She teaches across zoology and conservation programs including modules in Animal Behaviour (BIOL205), Advanced Behavioral Analysis (BIOL323), and Ecology & Biodiversity (BIOL132).
Recent publications demonstrate dual research streams: materials science innovations for solar technology alongside animal behavior investigations. Photovoltaics research focuses on GaAs substrate reuse, MOVPE smoothing, and III-V solar cell manufacturing. Animal behavior studies examine attention bias methodologies, vocalization stress indicators, and cystic fibrosis nutrition management.
Doctoral supervision includes projects on stone curlew conservation, equine affective states, dominance stress in rodents, sea otter tourism impacts, and avian mate selection. Fieldwork encompasses zoology expeditions and behavioral ecology trips.
