Professor Bridget Waller

Bridget Waller is Professor of Evolution and Social Behaviour at Nottingham Trent University and Director of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Social Interaction (CRoS). The overarching focus of her work is the evolution of social communication, particularly nonverbal behaviour and facial movement. She has specific expertise in human and non-human primate facial expression, and uses species-specific modifications of FACS (Facial Action Coding System) to make anatomically based, systematic comparisons between species. Currently, she is working on her European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant (FACEDIFF  - Individual differences in facial expressivity: Social function, facial anatomy and evolutionary origins).
