About me

I am a linguist specialized in formal semantics and experimental linguistics. I graduated with a Ph.D. degree in linguistics from New York University in September 2016. Then I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Concordia University and NYU Shanghai. Starting from September 2022, I will be Assistant Professor of Practice at NYU Shanghai, teaching and conducting research on linguistics and neurolinguistics.

My research focuses on natural language semantics and pragmatics, its cognitive basis, and its computational modeling. I combine theoretical, experimental, and computational methods in my research, and the goal is to understand how linguistically encoded meanings and their compositional details reflect human cognitive abilities and constraints. 

My current work focuses on dynamic semantics, degree semantics, numerals and quantifiers, causal dependence, counterfactuals, attitude reports, and formal techniques applicable to natural language semantics.
