The Chimpcam Project

Academic Supervisor for The Chimpcam Project


Professor Hannah Buchanan-Smith is an internationally renowned scientist with 25 years of experience working in the field of animal behaviour and welfare. She is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Stirling and Project Leader at the Living Links Research Centre (Royal Zoological Society of Scotland). Her research focuses on non-human primates in three inter-related scientific areas: behaviour and ecology, colour vision and welfare. Where appropriate, she advocates a combined approach of field research in natural habitats, together with hypotheses testing under controlled conditions in captivity. Hannah also conducts a range of research on the Refinement R of the three R’s (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement – the basic principles underlying humane experimental technique). This work has direct practical and practicable application in enhancing animal welfare (EU, PHHSC and BBSRC funded).

Hannah is the second supervisor (with Sarah-Jane Vick) for Betsy Herrelko’s PhD research on The Chimpcam Project.
