I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the Leibniz-Zentrum Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft in Berlin, associated with the semantics and pragmatics research group. I’m a theoretical linguist, which means that my work involves developing formal models of what we know when we know a language. Mostly, I do semantics, but I’m also interested in syntax, morphology, pragmatics, and their interfaces with semantics.
When I’m not doing linguistics, I code, read, and scale vertical walls.
