I hold a joint position in the Department of Linguistics and the Program in Indo-European Studies at UCLA, as well as a courtesy appointment in the Department of Classics. My research is devoted to two broad areas. The first is the relationship between language change and linguistic theory, with a particular focus on syntactic and morphosyntactic change in Indo-European. The second is computational phylogenetics.
From December 2022 through July 2023, I will be a Visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. During Easter Term 2023, I will be a Lewis-Gibson Fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Greek Studies.
I am honored and thrilled to be a member of the 2021 cohort of Guggenheim Fellows.
