About me

Welcome! I am a linguist specializing in syntax and morphology. I am currently an assistant professor (tenure track) at GNU. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at UPenn where I worked with Marlyse Baptista. I received my PhD from NYU where I worked with Alec Marantz. You can find my CV here.

One of my ongoing projects focuses on how nominal arguments are represented and licensed in syntax. I also examine the syntactic size of (non-)derived nominals by drawing evidence from understudied and underrepresented Bantu and Kwa family languages.

My research also focuses on evaluating large language models (LLMs) on tasks related to linguistic dependencies, including, but not limited to, agreement, anaphor binding, control, and politeness. I am also interested in how LMs handle low-resource and typologically diverse languages.

Research interests
