About me

I am a senior researcher at the Leibniz-Centre of General Linguistics in Berlin (ZAS), currently working in the LeibnizDream ERC project. I was previously the PI of the DFG-funded project "Logic across languages: Expressing and interpreting connectives cross-linguistically" (CrossConn). I am also an associated member of The acquisition of disjunction in Romanian group at the University of Bucharest. 

My research is focused on semantics, pragmatics, and the syntax-semantics interface. I am especially interested in polarity phenomena, the array of variation in the interpretation of connective particles cross-linguistically, the grammatical encoding of implicature calculation and interrogative constructions.
