I am an Associate Professor in the Program in Linguistics at Princeton University, which I joined in 2016. In Fall 2023, I became the Associate Director of the Program, and since Fall 2024, I have been the Acting Director of the Program.
My research interests are mainly in syntax and morphology, especially allomorphy, infixation, agreement, and nominal licensing, with a new interest in root and pattern morpho-phono-syntax. I investigate these topics through typological research and case studies on a variety of languages, which has included Turoyo and Senaya (Neo-Aramaic), Nancowry (Austroasiatic), Kurmanji (Indo-Iranian), Malagasy (Austronesian), and Hixkaryana (Carib).
