About me

Welcome! I am a linguist specializing in syntax. You can find my CV here.

I am currently an Assistant Professor at Gyeongsang National University (GNU) in Korea. Previously, I was a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania where I worked with Marlyse Baptista. I received my PhD from New York University (NYU) where I worked with Alec Marantz.

My projects focus on how nominal arguments are represented and licensed in syntax. I also examine the syntactic size of nominalizations (e.g., a sing-er) by drawing evidence from underrepresented and understudied languages.

My research also examines how large language models (LLMs) handle linguistic dependencies primarily informed by formal linguistic theories. I also focus on how well LLMs perform across typologically diverse languages.

Research interests

• Argument structure
• Nominalizations
• Case markers
• Discourse markers
• LLM performance
