About Me

I am a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT and will be an associate professor in the Linguistics Research Department at University College London starting in fall 2024. I hold a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Chicago and was previously a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University. I am primarily interested in syntax and its interfaces. Most of my research focuses on indigenous languages of the Caucasus and Polynesia.
