About

I am an Assistant Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science.

My research investigates how human languages are structured and how these structures are processed and understood by speakers. I work on a number of topics in syntactic and psycholinguistic theory, including subjecthood and thematic relations, case and agreement, and long-distance dependencies, looking at data from a variety of languages. I am especially interested in the relationship between cross-linguistic syntax, sentence comprehension, and information structure, and my research makes use of a mix of formal and experimental techniques. You can find out more about the Experimental Syntax Lab at UD here.

My CV is available here (updated January 2025).
