Chris Andrews completed his B.Sc. in Zoology and Ecology, M.Sc. in Zoology, and Ph.D. in Animal Science at Massey University, New Zealand. In 2021, he was appointed as a Lecturer in the School of Agriculture and Environment at Massey University, where he teaches animal reproduction and lactation physiology. Chris’s research focuses on the physiology and behaviour of both domestic animals (e.g., cats, dogs, sheep, and cattle) and non-domestic species. As a reproductive physiologist, he has a passion for using assisted reproductive technologies for species conservation, with a particular emphasis on carnivores. However, Chris is also dedicated to improving animal health and wellbeing. A major focus of his recent work involves the use of wearable technologies and machine learning to quantitatively assess animal behaviour. His goal is to develop and provide wearable technologies that enable continuous, remote monitoring of animal behaviour. The data from these devices could be used to provide valuable insights into health and welfare, assess veterinary treatment outcomes, and enhance our understanding of the behaviour of free-living, non-domestic species.
