About me
I am a mathematician turned linguist. I received my PhD in mathematics from Tel Aviv University in 2007 and my PhD in linguistics from University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2018. Currently, I am a lecturer (an analogue of the American assistant professor) at the Department of Foreign Literatures and Linguistics at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel.

My research focuses on theoretically oriented fieldwork, syntax, typology, and historical linguistics. Since 2007, I have been doing fieldwork on the languages of the Caucasus, primarily Digor and Iron Ossetic, Georgian, and Svan. My current theoretical interests include ellipsis, the structure of the left periphery and the phonology-morphology-syntax interface.
