I am a Ph.D. graduate from Stony Brook University’s Department of Linguistics.

My primary research interests lie in phonology, morphology, and their interfaces. More specifically, I work on the stress system of Kuikuro (Cariban), morphophonological vowel fronting in Serbo-Croatian, and morphologically conditioned segment insertion in different languages. In my dissertation, I provide a characterization of morphological processes as logical transductions on strings, and focus on the architecture of the morphological module, specifically as it pertains to the interfaces with phonology and syntax.

I am an editor of All Things Morphology: Its independence and its interfaces, with Sedigheh Moradi, Marcia Haag, and Janie Rees-Miller. The volume is dedicated to Mark Aronoff.

I am also a part of the Epenthesis research group led by Lori Repetti. We organized a workshop on epenthesis (and beyond) in September 2021: the program can be found here, and we are publishing a volume of selected papers – coming out soon!
