About me

I am a linguist who studies language from a formal approach. My work centers on Amazonian languages, with a focus on Panará (Jê) and Mỹky (isolate). Besides my main research I am also interested in language documentation, language revitalization, and the history of indigenous Amazonian peoples.

I am an ELDP postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. My current project, supervised by Lev Michael, is to document and describe the Iranxe variety of Mỹky, an isolate language spoken in Brazil.

I have a PhD from the University of Groningen, with a dissertation on case and agreement in Panará. Before that, I received an MA in linguistics from Paris VII (Université Denis Diderot), during which I spent some time at UQÀM in Montreal. I also have a double major in translation and in applied linguistics from Pompeu Fabra University, in Barcelona.
